| 2.5 stars. I didn’t care for this at all. It’s just a very mean-spirited body horror, with nothing else beyond the vulgar dialogue, nonstop sexual assault, and mutilation. The characters have almost no development, and the premise offers nothing new ...more | |

Yep, I've had similar experiences and you took the right action by reporting. Fake ratings, unfortunately, happen more often then they should and GR does not seem to want to address it properly.
Dear Peter,hope you are keeping well? :o)
Just a quick message to say that some abusive comments and 5 "1 star" ratings (ratings; no reviews) were posted in relation to my book from 5 fake goodreads accounts. I have reported this issue to librarians/goodreads help and I hope they will deal with this promptly. If you have any experience in dealing with similar situation, pls share- its a first time this happened to me and I am a bit upset.
Its worrying that " fake ratings" are possible, for they have the power to skew the true average rating.
Wishing you a lovely day :o)

Hi Peter :o)I love this part of the quote above:
"You will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine".
So simple; so true. We will all be much happier in our relationships if we kept it in mind :o)
