GoodReads/Amazon management has chosen to ban this review from their "community". The complete version of this review has therefore been moved to the following sites:

If you, like me, object to what Amazon has done to the world of books, book lovers, and book shops, you can find many alternatives to GoodReads (for reviews) and to Amazon (for shopping) at the "Escaping Amazon" community [plus.google.com/communities/101902216461396504043]. Our free public resource listing and describing alternatives is at [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhaXhGep913MdEg5VjJLWE9xTVRmRXVCVDF6eFRJbVE&usp=sharing%5D

Please be aware that the reviews you read here on GoodReads (now wholly owned by Amazon) are not an unbiased representation of the opinions of site members. Reviews which threaten Amazon's bottom line are censored. Reviewers aren't even informed that their sites have been quietly exiled to a literary ghetto. There are better sites, both for reading and for shopping.

Readers and their love of books are not commodities to be bought and sold - unless we allow it.
