Yes, it's clear they read the entire book. See Cinisajoy's post above. If I'm reading her correctly, she is saying the same thing I am.
A lot of authors and readers alike assume a gifted book will show up as verified, because even if it wasn't the reviewer who purchased the book, someone paid for it. That's why you will find a lot of erroneous information about it on blogs and forums like this one. In addition, some claim there's a box the gift recipient can check or uncheck to give or take away verified status. If this mysterious box exists, unverified must be the default, because none of mine have come up verified. That's something I've been meaning to look into, so if anyone has any firsthand knowledge of said box, I'd be interested to know!
If you got a Verified Purchase from a book you gifted out, count yourself lucky. However, I am quite certain that is not what is happening on my end. Whether you choose to believe me or not, that's up to you.
