I take awards and reviews with a grain of salt. Everything seems to be driven by an agenda these days. Yelp reviews of restaurants and other businesses? Totally untrustworthy. Amazon reviews? Most are fake. These parts of life (internet reviews) USED to be useful, but have been sabotaged by agenda-driven folks to the point of worthlessness. I have been looking at book reviews on Goodreads, figuring "What kind of agenda could a book enthusiast have?" Apparently, maybe I shouldn't even trust this group that I thought would be without bias. Probably most of the biased reviewers haven't even read the book they are reviewing, or any book for that matter, for quite a long while. They're just "reviewing" based on agenda. This is so sad. What kind of life do these poor dolts lead to be reduced to such infantile behavior?
