Such interesting things you found ... Amazon has indeed removed reviews. On my books, it removed reviews my aunt wrote. I have no idea how they knew she was my aunt -- we have different names. She's a writer as well and wrote the reviews to support me, but not at my request. It was an uncomfortable situation, but Amazon is pretty much in charge. We're just its serfs. As one who reviews many Christian fiction books, I'll second the notion that its fiction has declined. Most of what I read -- and I decline to read MANY -- is "lite" and not high quality.Susanhttp://www.girlsinwhitedressesblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501444543696395573.post-66989739046331923312012-12-24T14:44:28.556-06:002012-12-24T14:44:28.556-06:00Gary:
