Rick,
I think we agree here.
Maryann,
What I meant is perhaps less extreme than what came across: When I write a positive review, the goal is to praise the work. Whether or not a reader of my review takes that praise as initiative to buy the book in question is their business (pardon the pun). I'd rather be a highly opinionated writer for Consumer Reports than Ron Popeil. I make my biases clear per se.
