The title belongs to Slate. The image to Tairan Zhang.
Can't remember if I ever posted this, but it's an interesting article by Garth Risk Hallberg on Amazon's top reviewers, including the speed-reading and plot-summarizing icon Harriet Klausner.

I believe it was on Dorothy-L that I first ran across the expression "Klausnered", though I could be wrong. It cracked me up. Her plot summaries are useful, but can hardly be called "reviews." 45 books a week. Right. Jan Harayda has a post on her blog in which she links to a couple of articles about Klausner; they're worth a read if you enjoy laughing at humanity's foibles and foolishness.
Oooh. I'm a fangirl (sort of). I'll be checking those out. thanks
Claire,
Another great insight. Nothing is as it seems. I really do have to start paying more attention.
