Interesting

Comment comment by scubasteve on 22 August 2007

I haven't read the book, and probably won't. But it's interesting to see the user reviews on Amazon.com. So far, it seems that you either love it or hate it - 93% of the people that rated it gave it 1 star or 5 stars. Again, not having read the book and given the subject matter, it seems that a book like this is not going to change your opinion from what it was before you read it. That being said, I totally agree with Will's last sentence. It's interesting that with certain topics, the calls for open-mindedness mysteriously go silent.

I imagine that's probably true for most stuff on Amazon. There's not much motivation to rate stuff about which you don't have strong feelings. I know that virtually all of what I've rated is either 1, 4 or 5. And the 4's are mostly to get them de-emphasized a bit in the recommendations.
