A Goodreads user asked this question about The Chain:
does anyone else wish Stephen King would stop plugging other authors???
T.ScottReviews No and that goes for any author. I like to hear about what my friends and favourite authors like. Authors will be more critical of other authors work …moreNo and that goes for any author. I like to hear about what my friends and favourite authors like. Authors will be more critical of other authors work as they'll spot things the average reader won't. We all like different things so might not agree on what someone recommends is good or bad regardless of whether the person is an author or not.

If you don't want to read what anyone recommends you don't have to no one is forcing you to.

You say you want honesty in reviews. Can you guarantee a member of the public won't rate all one authors work 5 stars because it's their favourite author or a friend even or vice versa rate them all low just because they hate the author?(less)
