1 Star - 396 - wild, on 01/24/2008, -9/+57Actually, there are two ways to look at this:
1.) Almost all of them are reviewing the author, not the book, which is still fair game when your talking about someone trying to profit from their credibility
2.) Eye for eye, like the Bible says. - Scrappy1850, on 01/24/2008, -5/+50Your comment carries more weight because you signed it at the bottom.
- Rapture84, on 01/24/2008, -1/+40"Trying to encourage sexual acts in a book made available to young children is unacceptable." :)
- porplem, on 01/24/2008, -0/+35The tags are still funny.
http://www.amazon.com/Cult-Perfection-Making-Peace ... - unicronband, on 01/24/2008, -0/+34The funny part is, the vast majority of real comments absolutely trash her book.
- EatingPie, on 01/24/2008, -52/+84You know, I have a real problem with this.
We're rightly upset about the Mass Effect review when Lawrence didn't play the game. That was certainly wrong of her. However, in response, we're doing the exact same thing: putting up reviews of a book we never read. How is this any better? Aren't we just stooping to the same level?
Real justice would be engaging Lawrence and/or her editors on what she did, explaining that it was wrong, and (hopefully) her admitting she made a mistake and recanting. But as it stands, this is just revenge. A tit-for-tat. And if it was wrong for her to do it in the first place, it's wrong for us to do it back.

- bang21, on 01/24/2008, -2/+29Apparently, Amazon just pulled all the reviews.
- RajAtWork, on 01/24/2008, -0/+26they are back now. Rock on, Amazon!
- bigfatpaulie, on 01/24/2008, -0/+26I hope she has a book signing in my area someday so she can sign my copy of Mass Effect
- control98408, on 01/24/2008, -0/+25Wow, all this and the scientology stuff. Has my generation finally mobilized to do something worthy? Hopefully they'll all go out and vote.
- sdellboy, on 01/24/2008, -6/+30Pie - I agree with what you say but....spamming her book with bad reviews is just SOO much more fun than taking the more mature route of protest....
- pauleric, on 01/24/2008, -4/+27Sorry, this is Digg. Maturity and logic will get you nothing but dugg into oblivion. Hmm...Oblivion...
- ubitendo, on 01/24/2008, -13/+35SILENCE!!!!!!!!!
You must never expose stupidity when the Internetz does it! - Stupidumb, on 01/24/2008, -0/+20Also horny.
- Eleniatari, on 01/24/2008, -1/+20From what I see, amazon.com removed all comments from the books! Guess we get to do it all again!
- TheCheeks, on 01/24/2008, -2/+21Just fighting fire with fire
- esaks, on 01/24/2008, -1/+20RABBLE RABBLE!
- insomniac8400, on 01/24/2008, -1/+19They left the discussion though.
My favorite: "Cooper Lawrence is a stupid bitch."
Direct and to the point. - Linua, on 01/24/2008, -0/+18It's not wrong, it's just pointing out the irony of it all. She gives a biased review of a game without ever playing it, we give out the same towards her book. Simple when I put it that way huh?
- unjustend, on 01/24/2008, -1/+18Not with that attitude.
- doshindude, on 01/24/2008, -2/+19(tm)
- stronglikedan, on 01/24/2008, -1/+18My current fave: alien-side-cleavage-is-the-death-of-america
- Intangible360, on 01/24/2008, -1/+17I can see how you would say that but I disagree, most of those reviews are probably indicative of what she would have received from these people anyway, since they're not her target audience. Besides how is it any more childish than her attitude towards video games in general?

- RetlawST, on 01/24/2008, -2/+14That's never going to happen, however. Fox News has no intention of making itself look like an idiot so they will only offer debate if the can stack the deck in their favor. I agree it's juvenile and am not going to participate, but at the same time it's cultural backlash against the crap that people think they can get away with.
- greenlight2001, on 01/24/2008, -0/+12I'll leave something nasty for you. What's your book called?
- AUJapguy2004, on 01/24/2008, -2/+13Spams ahoy!
http://myspace.com/thecooperlawrenceshow - kmattso, on 01/24/2008, -2/+12Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
- purag66, on 05/13/2009, -0/+10It should be under a new "Justice" section.
- Shawnshank, on 01/24/2008, -0/+10Ah, I so love sweet revenge stories, even if some would call it immature and say it could only hurt the situation. Really, though, how can something that feels so right be wrong?
- inactive, on 01/24/2008, -1/+11When I went to tag it the suggestions on tagging were "ignorant, hypocrisy, garbage, hypocrite, hack, junk, terrible, bigot, bigoted" I decided to add anal fister to it.
- bigfatpaulie, on 01/24/2008, -0/+10Man, my Amazon recommendations are all ***** up now after going through the comments for her 3 books. Thanks again you whore.
- ahnonamis, on 01/24/2008, -7/+17http://digg.com/xbox/Gamers_Strike_Back_Against_Co ...
- Raelmiu, on 01/24/2008, -14/+24This is just wonderful! Kill that ignorant wierdo's book!
- bigfatpaulie, on 01/24/2008, -0/+9Really? She's got that whole horse face thing going for her I guess.
- merreborn, on 01/24/2008, -0/+9You'll have to call it "ANONYMOUS POLL INVASION 2008" or something, but damnit, it just might work.
- sirbeta, on 01/24/2008, -0/+9Those were recreated after the review wipe. Good job everyone!
- insomniac8400, on 01/24/2008, -1/+9If she is going to rate other things without having any knowledge of it, her work deserves the same treatment.
- Velirno, on 01/24/2008, -0/+8What's really hilarious is that there are negative reviews of actual readers of the book. That or some people decided to get really creative. Judging from the other titles she's written, she relies heavily on what one review smartly called "pop psychology". In other words, this woman is just giving you a list of coping skills to help deal with what will inevitably result in depression.
