An Amazon reviewing milestone...

Category Book Reviews

A picture named M2

Today I wrote my 500th review on Amazon.  Those reviews have garnered 2841 helpful votes over the years.  The helpful votes are tallied by people going to the Amazon site, viewing the book review, and clicking on the "Yes" button next to "Was this review helpful for you?"  Certain accumulations of vote totals (3 helpful/10 helpful) count towards reviewing points, and then you're stacked up against everyone else who has this obsession...

If you want to see all the books I've reviewed on Amazon (and if you care to leave helpful or not helpful votes), you can check out my About You area here:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A3R19YKNL641X3

And it seems like I've been stuck between 207 and 210 forever...  :-)

I asked him the same thing a while back. Tom usually is reading 3-4 books at a time. I don't know how he does it, but his reviews have been extremely helpful to me, and I used them to buy/borrow.

Gravatar Image2 - How do you manage to read as much as you do? Reading 24/7/365?

Gravatar Image3 - Smoke and mirror, my friends... smoke and mirrors...

Gravatar Image4 - Wow! This is fantastic Tom. Congrats and keep up the good work. Oh and remember that I bunked with Duffbert back at LS 04 and trust me, this guy can read a 400 page book in an hour. I saw him do it. All it takes is about 14 Diet Cokes and some Fritos

Gravatar Image5 - Congratualtions. That is one impressive milestone. Keep up the goodwork, it is fabulously useful to us lesser bookworms!
