She would so totally win our 100 books in 2011 challenge.

I read her reviews when one coincides with a book I've reviewed and they almost always have one or two blatant errors in them. A wrong name, something that didn't happen ..... stuff like that.

I'm still not even sure what is up with the story.

Even without reading the books, even if I just sat down with a Publisher/Author provided summary of the book, I wouldn't have time to churn out that many reviews in my day. I really think somebody or somebodies have to be treating it as a group project but it doesn't look like Amazon will ever force any honesty out of her.

I'm not sure what she gets out of it, I guess just being (In)Famous.

I think she gets tons of free books at a minimum.
