I don't trust Amazon reviewers for two very important reasons:
1. Most of the reviewers seem to being reviewing simply to make themselves feel self-important in the world. They probably haven't even seen the source material on anything they write about.
2. To prove they don't care about the source material, much of it is written BEFORE THE SOURCE IS RELEASED, like with your War of the World example.
I really wish Amazon would disallow reviews until a week after the product has been released. But until them, I'm ignoring each and every review on there.
PS: Number 3. is that most reviews seem either too gushy or too negative; where are the objective reviewers?
