This book has only 5-star ratings (there are three of them) yet it's total rating is "3.79". What is going on here? When I clicked on the "details" section of the rating process, it references an older version of this book, but it just came out this week. Can someone explain this?

Actually, as of the evening of 20 September, there are 21 5-star ratings, 8 4-star ratings, 5 3-star ratings, 2 2-star ratings, 6 1-star ratings for this book. You can see these statistics by hovering your mouse cursor over the word "filter" just under the heading "Community Reviews". I don't know why Goodreads doesn't show all the ratings for the book before they show just random people who have selected the book "to read" or whatever. Goodreads does show actual reviews first, which is good, and which seem to all consist of 5-star reviews. So far it seems that the only people who have written reviews for this book are people who have rated it 5 stars. I suspect that some people who have no intention of ever reading this book have simply trashed it with a 1 star rating because they are trying to be good obedient ditto-heads for Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, the oil industry, et. al.
