Cue the joke about reviewers being paid to give five stars, and critics getting paid less to give an honest opinion.

Kirkus charges around $500 to review a self-published book.
They've made a business of it.
Like any business, they would like repeat customers.
As a reader, I would never trust such a review.
I'm not a writer but if I were, I wouldn't use them. I'd rather take my chances with the Amazon and Goodreads crowds.
