On one hand I like seeing collective action at work; people "taking to the streets" as it were, making themselves heard by whatever means works. So I respect it to some degree. On the other hand the review section is not for industry protest; it's for a review of the work. However, Connelly is established enough that fans will dismiss the objecting reviews, so it won't hurt sales. If this was done to a new author, it would be terribly unfortunate, especially since the author likely has nothing to do with the pricing. At least they chose an author who wouldn't be hurt by it, while still getting the message across.
I doubt they will, but I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon purged the non-relevant reviews, since it may violate TOS for reviews.
