The downside of that is that many authors encourage regular readers to "friend" their reader pages....and having that author in your "friend" list doesn't mean you're unable to provide an honest review. It might make it harder, I admit, if you chat a lot of the author's blog or website or Facebook page. But it definitely doesn't mean a review was "bought and paid for".
