This is about a friend of mine who recently had his book published.I mentioned him in chat.
He now has an Amazon page set up, and has reviewed his own book, pretending that he's not the author.
I think this is dishonest and does him and his book no favours.
However he's made it pretty obvious that the review was written by the author, using the same first name, and if you click on his Amazon name it shows you the reviewer has the exact same name as the author. Oh what a coincidence.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the attempt, he's a good friend but this is pathetic and dishonest imo.
Does anyone find this acceptable?
