Amazon gives me advice how to review

[reviews_and_ramblings]

I sent an enquiry to Amazon wondering why some reviews were not posted. I was replied that there were some forbidden words (as usual, hand job, blow job), and that I was welcomed to post them again without them. But they also give me an advice more... directly from their words:

"Also, please make sure you are providing your opinion on whether the items you are review are good or bad and the reasons why. It appears that the majority of your reviews are just the descriptions of the plots of the books."

Strange, I was very well certain to do exactly the opposite. If I retell part of the story, it's only to point out some side of the characters... but well, they probably know more than me, don't they?

A very pissed off Elisa, who is really wondered why she bothers to post reviews on Amazon (I know why, I do that to promote the books, Amazon is till the main online booksellers, but still...)

Hm... Your feelings on whatever book you're reviewing is always obvious to me. Maybe I'm an expert at reading Elisa!

Amazon is just a barrel of laughs. I don't know whether to feel sorry for them or not. They're terrible at dealing with the public. I hope they pull it together. If they were a smaller vendor, the bad publicity would've already put them out of business :(

LOL so you are officially an Elisa's exerpt ;-) And you can translate my hidden thoughts even if I didn't clear state them. But then, you are not Amazon or one of their so good people on call center that, instead of saying "thank you" to post reviews on books that usually have no one, told me to avoid to post if I haven't anything of interest to say...
