An article from The Register reported: Online retailer Amazon has come under fire for letting any old person pose as an author and submit a comment about a book they haven't written.

According to The Independent, Philip Pullman, John Christopher and Terry Goodkind have all suffered and they are not happy. In the case of Pullman, the bogus comment maker was illiterate. It read: "Trully my best piece of work. Good day to all my readers, I never new I had so many ..."

On the Amazon.co.uk site, all it says when you click on the line 'I am the author and want to comment on my book' is: Just a Moment! Are you the Author? If you are not the Author or the Author's authorised representative, please fill out a customer review.
