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...)

Everyone has their own writing style and I don't see why you should change yours to please Amazon. Especially after they tried to exclude gay and m/m books from their best sellers list and even their catalogue.

Just go on being yourself, Elisa! I for one love you for it!

Thank you so much! And no, I don't think I will change to please Amazon. And I will continue to send them people to buy LGBT books, so that they will understand that is better if they are really careful ;-) Elisa
