Big Al reviewed the Jacqueline Howett's "The Greek Seaman" and despite numerous errors in a number of different ways, he gave it a mild review.

Then Howett herself began leaving comments on the review, telling Al and everyone else who dared to speak up that her writing was amazing, and demanding that the review be taken down. There are even excerpts from the book posted in one of the comments to show the quality of the book, if it couldn't have been guessed at from the quality of the author's posts.....

People say there's no such thing as bad publicity, but I don't think that's true- if people are eager to see the book that caused the commotion, they can download a sample, so no money spent, nothing gained.
