I vote for the ones making the reviews. I agree with Otterbooks. These folks should take to the streets and hold their breath till their face turns purple. I am not impressed with anyone who writes a dishonest review. I don't care for Connely but I'm tempted to buy the book out of spite.
There is a very simple rule of thumb for me on book pricing. If it's priced too high, for me, I don't buy it. I know, it's a radical thought. Apparently, enough people buy the books at the higher prices that the children's crusade really doesn't influence publishers.

Dishonest review? What, do you think these people are secretly happy with the price and are just posting bad reviews for fun?
