Hillary Clinton's book came out on Tuesday, but within a day more than 1,500 reviews (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/sep/14/amazon-redacts-one-star-reviews-of-hillary-clintons-what-happened) had come in on Amazon — which feels like an awful lot of speed reading.*

The online critiques for What Happened (https://www.amazon.com/What-Happened-Hillary-Rodham-Clinton/dp/1501175564)were either really bad or really good. It was clear very few people were actually reading the book or reviewing it based on its substance. Instead efforts from either supporters or detractors were taking over the review section.

Midday Wednesday 30 percent of more than 700 reviews were one-star. Notice the very skewed spread below. Amazon noticed this trend too, and stepped in to remove "customer reviews that violate our community guidelines," according to the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/sep/14/amazon-redacts-one-star-reviews-of-hillary-clintons-what-happened).* Read more...
