Amazon won't publish one reader's review

Anna Rosa D' Ambrosio of Italy read the Italian version of Darknet and was moved to write a positive review to counter the recent flurry of negative "reviews" by people who obviously haven't read the book on Amazon.com.

But Amazon won't publish her review. Why? Because she hasn't purchased anything on Amazon.

Good to keep that in mind -- Amazon is first and foremost a commerce site, not a place for honest and wide-ranging discussion of a book's merits or demerits.

Amazon.com pisses me off BIG TIME! I have purchased several items from Amazon in the past and recently, I wanted to write a negative review and I did. I wrote a long, long, long, long, review and surprise, surprise! It never showed up! How sweet of them, wasting my time like that.
