"I'm not even giving this away. I'm throwing it in the trash.."

It sounds like a guy who probably couldn't distinguish between throwing the book away and throwing away his whole Kindle.

A thing is not better just because it's quicker and simpler.

Quick and simple does seem to describe a lot of minds operating on the Internet so it could be a perfect tool. I foresee forums of people just typing "bray" and "braaaay" at each other.

Heh.

I also see the phrase "face plant." Which apparently means passing out at the keyboard.

This is a corruption of a term from my youth. Back then, it meant to go over the handlebars of your bicycle or fall from your skateboard head first, planting one's face on the sidewalk or roadway.

Never heard it. But I grew up in the seventies. We had pet trilobites.

That reviewer clearly doesn't know what s/he is talking about.

And has a considerable amount of ignorance as regards mental illness (No, I shall never use the idiotic phrase "neurologically atypical."

Red Delicious / Eyes On Blue. Watch the skies indeed. Plant the five seeds in a star. Wonderful post; echoes how I've felt of late. Please accept a nod of "yeah" and write well, greybeast.

I've quit my Goodreads account because of this, since I wanted to read and post NON-Amazon-related reviews.

I never liked Goodreads, so I don't have to stop liking them now.
