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...)

Preferisco di gran lunga le tue recensioni così come le stai facendo.
Detesto i punteggi, nella maggior parte dei casi non significano granchè.
A me non sembra che tu ti soffermi troppo sulla trama, dai il giusto accenno per rendere l'idea e poi tratti quello che hai apprezzato, ti ha colpito sia della storia che dei personaggi.
Onestamente pare chiaro se il libro ti è piaciuto o meno.
E una cosa che mi piace molto - non ricordo se te l'avevo già detto - è che tu non sventri mai un autore. Se non è stata del tutto una buona lettura, indichi comunque i punti di forza.
C'è poco da fare, a un qualche livello siamo tutti impressionabili e le tue recensioni, a mio avviso, forniscono le basi per decidere se prendere o non prendere ma non forzano la valutazione con frasi forti o punteggi.

Grazie mille per queste parole. Penso che il commento negativo che sta un po' più sopra sia da parte di qualcuno che già in passato mi ha creato problemi. E Amazon credo stia facendo qualcosa, perchè questa è la prima volta che ricevo tale risposta ad una mia (gentile) domanda. Que serà serà, ma io non penso che cambierò ;-) Elisa
