The entire saga over at the Amazon discussion boards in this long thread here.
Also, it's your thread and you can do what you wish, but I personally wouldn't see the point of re-mentioning an official time-limited established print-publisher promo freebie that's already gotten its own thread. |
I appreciate your comments. Regarding reviews I initially look at the quantity of reviews then look a bit closer at quality. I then compare with GR. Questionable reviews are everywhere but according to this
thread crowd sourcing supposedly equalizes them out. Now if most of the 5-star reviews are suspect, then I move on. I ran into several of them today.
Zombiestan received a 3.79 rating (Q=68) on GR. Some of those obviously fake. They are so easy to spot. This doesn't necessarily mean the book is unreadable. I'll let people here decide.
And I do post what may have been posted elsewhere. Sorry, if you feel slighted. It was taking too much time searching this forum beforehand. It was just faster to repost the link here.
