The sole review posted here of the book, giving it "five stars" is by the book's author. How is that anything but a conflict of interest? Amazon should really not allow this sort of thing.

Relentlessly silly and self-aborbed, and that's just the 5-Star review Mr Sutton awarded himself. A child prodigy at twenty? Deranged.

...an astrophysicist be studying an ark? Maybe Pleiades or whatnot, but a boat, astronomy, what's the deal? No matter, spoiler warning - the ark is able to end starvation because it's made of delicious chocolate and cheese nips, and it's extremely large.

Tasty.

I'm really curious how Noah's Ark would hold the cure to global warming. Does it hold blueprints for a giant air conditioner? And since the ark has to be destroyed in order "to utilize its resources," does that mean the smoke of the Ark will provide said blueprints? Was the prescient Noah able to design said air conditioner to run on renewable energy, rather than the bad, evil fossil fuels? Is this the (very) poor man's Da Vince Code, with opposing forces battling within a biblical backdrop? Could a dumber premise for a novel possibly exist?

Sutton writes the "customer" review for his own book? Someone has traveled to and set up a colony on a moon of Pluto by 2199? That is SO implausible as to not even be worthy of science fiction. What a goober.

It is obvious that the average fifth-grade student in a low quality public school could have written this book. Mr. Sutton, keep your day job, whatever that is.

I am a hypocrite. I am condemning you for giving this "book" a five star rating when you did not read it. My review is no more valueless than yours. I may be a hypocrite, but at least I am honest about it.

I read Thomas Sutton's e-mail to Mr. Taranto and it was so well written I find it hard to believe such a great author could receive such a poor rating. Perhaps it is the subject matter he chose is too difficult for us normal Americans to comprehend!

I'd tell you not to buy the book, but I too never read it and with numbers like that, it probably isn't necessary.

Maybe he'll double, triple, or even quadruple his sales from all the traffic his letter generated...pure genius. I'll keep checking to see if he cracks the #3,800,000 mark, or continues the downward spiral to #4,000,000.

Well shucks. I wanted to read this kid's own review of his own book, but apparently it has been deleted by.. someone.

Anyway, life being short as it is, and with only a finite number of days remaining until I draw my last breath, I cannot bring myself to even contemplate wasting even one second of it reading it, much less wasting one penny actually buying it.

However, I will say this - I actually did not know that Amazon sold vanity books. That comes as news to me.

In case you missed it, the book was published by 'Authorhouse', which is one of those outfits that lets you pay to have your book 'self-published', in other words, it's a typical 'vanity book'.

Therefore, we can at least rest easy knowing that this thing was not in fact bought and published by an actual editor.

Whew.
