Review sites and 'Sock Puppet' reviews

[Gamal]

I just got up to speed on the whole sock puppet controversy. Does anyone have a trick for dealing with this kind of deception outside of ignoring all five star reviews? http://t.co/D4TrqjuT

Thanks.

A lot of indie writers can't write despite what the fake reviews say. You can't trust them.

Read the first paragraph. If it works, continue.

If they can write an engaging first sentence, first chapter chances they know something about writing otherwise don't bother.
