Soap Box Opera drones on

I am assuming that the review below, copied from the `Comments' area of this item, was the original review that the other two reviews refer to - so well done to all who got it deleted from the system.
I couldn't agree more with these two reviews on this item - this is a blank baby book for parents to fill in, with photos and text, as their baby develops over those precious first 12 months.
What does puzzle me is the fact that it got a positive vote in the first place - unless the author is also guilty of voting for his own reviews which is quite possible given how his `helpful' votes whizz up - you only need to look back at the review pages to see how obtuse the subjects are and how suspicious the voting is, especially on items that have other reviews which have no votes at all?
<< Still One of the Best Children's Stories of all Time, 8 May 2007
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was written in 1900 and has stood the test of time very well. Generations of children have loved the story and treasured the books of Beatrix Potter. It is up there among the greats of children's literature with Wind in the Willows, The Water Babies, Peter Pan, Treasure Island and many others.
In these days of computer games and electronic toys of one kind or another, books sadly are sometimes not as high on the list as they were a few years ago, perhaps that is why literacy in schools is not all that it could be. Personally as a child books were always my first love and Christmas would not have been the same without a Rupert annual.
Stories that involve animals as the main characters in books always seem to fascinate young children and Peter Rabbit has always been up there with the best. Next time you have to buy a present for a child, or even want to treat one of your younger grandchildren for no particular reason. Instead of looking for the latest DVD why not buy them a book. Peter Rabbit is a good one to start with.>>

First Review is not relevant
|
This is a baby book, so how on earth has this review got on here?
It bears no resemblence whatsoever to the text in this book, I hope, and is harfly an encouragement to buy.
Reporting as inappropraite, as advised.

Blanket Reviewing Fails to Impress
|
This reviewer is one of the biggest offenders of blanket reviewing across all the modes...book/audio/baby/foreign languages, bookmarks....you name it...........it is a bad habit that Amazon let go unnoticed and purely a numbers game - let's get as many total reviews as possible regardless of the relevance or quality to jump up the league ladder - it is a sad game and questions the legality of the whole system.
It is this sort of reviewing which makes a mockery of the overall aim and the reviewing platform should not be an area for the older generation to launch attacks on today's society and learning, which they are clearly not in a position to do.
In the meantime this review should be deleted by the author, or Amazon - just report it as 'inappropriate' and it should get pulled.
The review system used to only allow the posting of one review on a title....then it changed to all modes....now it has reverted to the original, amalgamations now show the same reviewers' reviews .....which are just downright tedious and superfluous.
