Tracy: you're assuming Amazon has anything more to do with it than Google had to do with the temporary disappearance of a connection between the Mass Pike and 128 a few years ago. Both are crowdsourced, with Amazon probably being if anything less mediated; the review you quote could be a prank, or somebody being careless about which window they posted in.

OTOH, I don't think Amazon was ever about quality or efficiency, or anything else other than the benjamins.

That's a great idea: Rambo in Elfland

I'd probably read that and I'd *definitely* see the movie.

delivery trucks seem to be taking over the roads as Amazon greed
prevails. Meanwhile Amazon book pages continue to be completely
unreliable in regard to reader reviews. Check out this one for the
paperback, The King of Elfland's Daughter:

"5.0 out of 5 stars Nonstop action.
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2023
Realistic and raw. Believable. Bruce Steele is the new Rambo. Hot shot
pilot saves the veep and gets the girl."

I simply can't grasp their degree of incompetence in including this as a
review of a Lord Dunsany elfland novel.
