On the gripping hand - If it bothers the authors they may complain to the publishers. Maybe the publishers, thinking of a future contract, will listen to them.
As far as the single star goes, the few times I look at the reviews I see that the single star complaints are very childish. I only read the positive review to see if I might like it.
Then too, I buy more books based on
MY likes than reviews.
Simple solution - don't buy over priced books unless you
really want them. The publishers and authors will get the message.
