Review a novel contest entry

Is the approval a result of the number of positive ratings?

Either way, 'tis a good thing, indeed.

For the contestants, the rankings are sort of black magic. Amazon has said that they will take the top 100 most reviewed entries (out of the 836 semi-finalists) and spend about 2 weeks going through them to pick the top 10. Their criteria for choosing the top 10 is anyone's guess.

Current standings have me 4 reviews behind the 3rd place entry. I'm averaging 5 new reviews a day but that's a very hard pace to maintain.

Electra? what kind of name is that?

I've snap-judged his novel, with close-minded prejudice.

I'll do him the favor of not reviewing it.

Make him change that name though.
