When you are looking at cookbooks on Amazon, look for reviews by either "Gramma" or "Lucy Ditty." I've noticed each lady tends to give fair, unbiased reviews featuring her own honest opinion Both ladies have apparently been cooking a long time, and review a LOT of cookbooks. Gramma's profile says she owns something like 600 hardcopy cookbooks, and who knows how many digital. Even though the vast majority of books I "buy" are free for my Kindle, I have begun to look for a review by either lady before I'll bother getting the cookbook.
On the other hand, "Harriet Klausner" reviews other books, fiction mostly. She reviews so many every day, I cannot imagine how she has time to read, much less the two books a day her profile states. Very few of her reviews show less than four-star ratings, and I'd take her opinion with a large grain of salt. I've noticed that she's started posting reviews as "A Customer" and then signing her name at the bottom of the review. I see her name and I just don't even bother reading.
