Meet Harriet Klausner, Amazon.com’s most prolific reviewer.

ecorrado writes “The OpinionJournal.com has a nice article on Amazon.com’s most prolific reviewer in Tuesday’s Leisure & Arts section. It appears that Harrriet Klausner reads an average of 4 or 5 books a day. Interestingly, one of the reasons she usually gives a lot of high reviews is if she doesn’t like the book she’ll stop reading it (and thus not review it). Anyway, check out the article if you want to know more.”

    Ethical standards!
    A book reviewer who won’t review a book if she doesn’t read the whole thing!

    An amateur book reviewer who believes a book should be read completely before a review is posted!

    There’s hope for the world after all.

    Re:Ethical standards!
    Depending on the nature of the review why does the entire book need to be read in order to comment on it?

    Classifying something as a ‘wallbanger’ (so bad a book you chucked it at the wall) is as a legitimate opinion as any other.
