One look at a particularly popular product, such as the classic rock album "Who's Next" by The Who, shows that a diverse range of credible reviews are featured which are pertinent, well-written, carefully researched and always fair. I've also shopped for self-improvement and popular psychology titles on Amazon using their customer reviews as my guide, and I have never come across a fake review even once in all my time as an Amazon customer. For the record, I think that you're blog is amazing.

When it becomes commonly known the degree of fakeness in reviews, they lose all value. I hope they fix this. I will say that if you see a lot of five stars on something that is obviously not five star (or it would've been nominated for a prize or well reviewed by major publications), that is a good tip off to lack of authenticity. Also that the reviewers review nothing else. How sad and this will hurt Amazon in the long run. When it becomes commonly known the degree of fakeness in reviews, they lose all value.
