“I agree that it's a shame some books have to suffer ratings that clearly are invalid. However I can't think of a way to prevent it, and I didn't see any ideas in the thread either (I did skim though).

I hope you'll appreciate that if we just start deleting ratings whenever we feel like it, that we've gone down a censorship road that doesn't take us to a good place.”
― Otis Y. Chandler

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.”
― James Baldwin

“To eat bread without hope is still slowly to starve to death.”
― Pearl S. Buck, To My Daughters, With Love
