Hillary: What Happened?

[TheGreatGatsby]

Just for clarity, I'll say that 60-85 percent five stars is typically the sweet spot for really good books. And rarely do books get rated 86-92 percent five stars. I think the highest I've seen for a book with more than 100 ratings to be about 88 to 91 five stars. I know I've seen low 90's on some lesser volume rated books. So, the idea that Hillary's book would be at 92-95 five star rating just blatantly betrays the rating system.

As an aside, if you find a book from 36-59 percent five stars, I would still typically recommend it if your interest level is there. Just read the four-star-and-less reviews to find out why the reviewers didn't give five stars before making a final determination.

I figure it's only a matter of time before the one-star ratings her accompanying children's version of 'It Takes A Village' get deleted.

BTW, only 27 positive reviews and it's a #1 children's book seller? Amazon fudging with the numbers, probably.

Anyone actually listen to this on audiobook? I'd like to get it at some point if I think it can't get me some laughs; but I think it's probably just a bunch of pixie dust. I want to know cos I'd like to know what price point I might get it for. It's at $11.81 on Amazon now; I'd prefer to get it under $5.

Audiobook dropped about $1 over the last three days to $5.88, further validating claims that the ratings are rigged. $5.88 for a 72% five star book that has only been out for nine months? Unheard of, especially for a audiobook starting for north of $25.

Does it have a chapter on Chardonnay?

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

It's dropped to $5.58. I will likely buy it at under $5, even though I suspect even the whitewash will be quite boring and not as comical as I'm hoping for.

Audio is $25.94 on pre-order. It's released 9/12 (the day after 9/11 curiously enough). It'll be funny to watch how quickly the price dips when losers don't want to buy their loser leader's book!

Who called this? People should be voting that up in droves.

Audiobook dropping about a quarter a day. Down to $5.17.

Damn that thing is falling faster than she does!

My goal would be to get it for a buck something since it's pretty much money thrown away.

Price has jumped from $2.93 to $3.08. I hope the previous downward trend continues. I can't justify paying that much for that piece of trash.
