I've been refreshing about every minute for the last five and it fluctuates between 215 and 217 reviews. They are swatting them as fast as they are being posted. As an author on kindle this level of manipulation pisses me the fuck off! Reviews are meant to be honest and reflect what people feel about the work. They are not supposed to be manipulated for an agenda.


The vast majority of the reviews are from people who never bought or read the book. Their opinion during reviews is irrelevant and they should be purged. I can't imagine who or why someone would read that book, but maybe someone actually wanted to see what it was about.

If an annotated copy of Mein kampf were published, would it make sense for it to get bad reviews because Hitler wrote it?



Censorship is censorship. The witch is being protected from the public ridicule burning.



Very true.


In no way is what they are doing is censorship. lol

Honestly I think Amazon would be in the right to remove bullshit reviews from people who have not actually purchased the book. They have done it with other things not related to politics or public figures. Amazon is not a comedy site and reviews should be genuine.

It can be looked that way though but I do see what you mean. One can argue that Amazon is going above and beyond in this case given the Hildabeast has folks put to death that displeases her.

Well, shit, I'm an 01-er and kinda agree with mancat.  I mean, the reviews are hilarious and there is, of course, the legendary Three Wolf Tee review, but I depend in a large part of Amazon ratings and comments when buying new stuff.  If it's got one star, I'm not even going to look at it.

Happens all the time with Amazon.

People will review bomb something, seller complains, Amazon axes all the reviews by people who didn't actually buy the book.

Not a political conspiracy.

2 stars : May cause fascism, dizziness, and pneumonia

When I received the shipment from Amazon, I immediately tore open the packaging, as I was exited to read up on how to destroy America and wipe my backside with the constitution. I couldn't wait and started in before I had a chance to sit down. About 2 sentences into the first chapter, my body kind of froze. I felt weak and started to collapse. Fortunately my family members were nearby to catch me and drag me over to my reading chair. After having been administered a really swell drug cocktail, I came to, and realized they had to drag me so fast, that my shoe came off and was left laying near the front door!

I'm pretty sure this book gave me a wicked case of walking pneumonia

That book gave me pneumonia

Most of the pages had been redacted

One whole chapter was deleted

It short circuited my kindle. I called for tech support but they told me no assets were available

It's a hard book to read but I powered through it.

Or just simply "malignant cunt"

I ordered this book from the Clinton Foundation for 2.5 million USD. It came with a certificate good for one free ambassadorship and a guaranteed seat on the State Department advisory board. I only give it one star because when I received the book I found all the pages had been deleted.

how soon before they are going for $0.10 apiece just so they can recoup their loses on the shipping and handling?or better yet, they're offered as a $0.75 add on just to get them out of the warehouse?

I have left reviews on items that I have bought elsewhere.  If they only allow reviews for items bought from them, they will lose reviews.

I don't know why Amazon even allows non "verified purchaser" reviews. I think everyone knows that her books are trash.

are you implying that there is no market for them? are you saying that Amazon's selling them and the publisher's printing them is a way for Bezos and  Simon and Schuster to funnel money into her account in an apparently legitimate way?

I wrote an epic "review" that was formatted like an email from one of Hillary's lackies to her private email account... Where I attached a glowing review and then proceeded to beg for my life and the life of my family, professing my loyalty etc. I told her I understood why Seth had to be eliminated. It didn't get past the censors. lol

I can't believe some people here are claiming the high road and saying these reviews should be deleted.  This is war, people!  Shrillary is going to continue the process of flushing this great country down the drain, and you are worried about fairness?  Look, nobody cares about any fucking book you personally have on Amazon.  Nobody is writing bogus reviews of whatever book you have there, ok?  This is about ridiculing our political class (always valid) and preserving the future of our country...and having a little fun.  Try not to let your fucking egos (ooh, look, I'm an "author!")  get in the way of that.  Again, nobody cares about your stupid book on Amazon.

I hope Hillary will sign my book when I'm sitting in the front row of the debate Monday night! Also, I never read this book after seeing all the negative reviews, but now they're gone after Amazon scrubbed them ... maybe the Clintons threatened to take out Amazon too???
