Well if it's stopped now they have some favourable reviews already up there and it's just too soon to tell whether it was not going to gain traction without her name. Sounds like a win win to me.
EDIT: How weird. I was checking out the reviews in Amazon US and I was thinking - OK, 21 5 star reviews. All the people just grabbing the book simply because it's J K Rowling won't have had a chance to read it yet. That's not bad.
Then I read these 5 star reviews and most of them are by people just leaving comments that the book is by J K Rowling in the last couple of days. No review, no indication that they've finished, or started, or even purchased the book (in most cases). It's like Amazon reviews are now the place where you leave thread postings like this one.
Maybe I should have posted this in Amazon as a review. Would just need to figure out how many stars to attach to it.
