PDX Mommy, that is a great review!

Hermana Linda · 11-22-2011, 10:11 AM

Fantastic review! I'm linking to it, it is too important not to share.

Don't be surprised if the whole thing gets deleted. Publishers are allowed to delete certain entries on Amazon and Pearl is his own publisher.

There are still plenty of ways to circulate the review. Facebook, anyone?

Hermana Linda · 11-22-2011, 01:48 PM

Well, it's here, a public board. I link to it here and if I had permission, I could paste it into that blog entry.

PDX Mommy · 11-23-2011, 12:18 AM

Thanks, everyone! I hate when I see typos after the fact. Gah! Hopefully it changes at least a few people's minds before it possibly gets taken down by the Pearls!

Hermana Linda · 11-23-2011, 01:53 PM

Fix the typos here.

I've started to notice that many of the 5-star reviews are worded exactly the same

I don't think I'm just seeing repeats because they seem to be sorted by rating and there are fewer ratings as I go along, but I don't have the time nor the inclination to skim through the first ten pages again at the moment.

Would Amazon be bothered if many 5-star reviews were C&P's of other people's reviews?

ETA - I cannot make head nor tails of how Amazon is organizing these comments, but I know I've seen the same reviews several times now

I don't want to be nitpicky and focus on the wrong things, but this statement strikes me as interesting.

I kind of always thought it was an all-or-none thing, meaning either you trust God...or you don't.

I don't believe that "we trust God" is an excuse for people to sit back and do nothing (laziness)...but I thought trusting God meant ...well...trusting Him?

Sorry to divert attention from the real issues at hand. That statement just struck me as odd.

I totally just posted a short but slightly scathing comment on the note they shared on FB. I wonder how long it will remain there...

They really are pathetic if they have to beg for people to flood the Amazon site.

It makes me cringe to defend anything Pearl, but I think it was just a poor word choice and not intended as anything more than an acknowledgement of God.

It's more clique phrases to appease the masses, not convey actual information.

Ahhh... you're probably right. That makes sense.
