I used to always go to Amazon because I'm a "read the bad reviews first" find of girl..but there is no way I'm wading through that "I didn't read it/buy it/own it but" crap. Its not worth it for me. I just go to Amazon to price compare and purchase...I don't look at reviews.

So, in a way, the carpet bombs have done the opposite of the intention for me.

But go right ahead, 1 star all you like. If you like it, I love it.
If the authors/publishers want the reviews to go back to being reviews, then get the agency 6 to piss off and put prices back to some sense of normality and let us get on with reviewing.
