That's why I always do. Werthead Send a noteboard - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM
especially when it comes to niche obscure books? If you post your review on Amazon, you at least have a chance of affecting people's buying choices.


I repost all my reviews to Amazon automatically. Sometimes Amazon don't publish them (mainly if I slip in the odd swear word; Amazon don't publish reviews even with very mild language like 'bloody' in them) and Amazon block reviews of books not released yet (which is odd, as they allow reviews of unreleased films and computer games). Aside from that, they're all up there.

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Tom - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 2104 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 1129 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1248 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 1133 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 487 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 521 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 1064 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1260 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 595 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 1177 Views
I said I'm "growing" to hate him. I'm not ready to pay for his death yet. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:37:53 AM 1062 Views
bahahahahahahahahaha temeraire - 22/09/2010 06:10:26 AM 1177 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 1031 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1285 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 1048 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 1157 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 1138 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 1003 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 527 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 1124 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 1154 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 1110 Views
I stopped caring so long ago I don't even remember much of what it's about. *NM* Macharius - 22/09/2010 04:21:52 PM 493 Views
Wolves and incest and a big wall of ice with barrow-wights on the other side. *NM* Tom - 23/09/2010 03:36:19 AM 489 Views
You know whenever the new book is ever released, it'll sell even more copies due to the wait, right? Larry - 22/09/2010 11:06:37 PM 1172 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 1136 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 1166 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 1070 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 998 Views
Not neccessarily. There are plenty of series that I started but didn't finish because I lost Tashmere - 24/09/2010 12:58:10 AM 1011 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 1264 Views

which is why I always rant - why review a book on your blog, but not Amazon? Aeryn - 25/09/2010 03:36:45 PM 1081 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 1012 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 515 Views
I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 1262 Views
As I said in a previous response... Larry - 26/09/2010 11:15:13 PM 1039 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 1112 Views
Re: Nothing wrong with him if does have a high opinion of himself. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:11:06 AM 461 Views

Truly, there's really no reason that you can't be both angry at him and planning to buy the book. Kotagg - 25/09/2010 12:46:03 AM 1078 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 484 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 1090 Views
