To fight the scourge of fake reviews whereby review factories for a fee submit hundreds of glowing reviews Amazon has made it a rule that reviewers must have purchased the book and have spent $50 at one time or another on the credit card.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This means that we have not been getting the expected reviews in the US since many of our readers use Kindle Unlimited to read our book. This is not a problem for us financially as we get paid according to the number of pages read and it is a long book. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The reviewer added that the only fault he could find apart from a couple of typos was our seeming to question Sullenberger’s flying skills.
\nAs a result we corrected the typos and rewrote the ending of the piece on the “Miracle on The Hudson” (see this blog<\/a>) as the title with its play on words was liable to be misunderstood.<\/div>\n
