review in description?

[Eva-Marie]

Can someone take a look at this description? A member that looks no longer active edited it in 2009 and I can't tell if it's the normal description with an added bit by the member or what.

Came straight from Amazon, looks like.

Thanks rivka, that last part seemed like it could go either way so I wanted to check. Thanks for taking a look.

I have noticed that before. And upon checking amazon, I see that the description there is a review. I have been changing them to either the synopsis found at the author's website, or from an edition here, if they are more like a book report and have what may be considered spoilers.
Should I not be doing that?

If there's a more objective description available, it's good to change it to that, especially if you can get one from the author's website. I do that too.

This one is close enough to the border that I lean towards leaving it. *shrug* Not a strong preference, though.

I didn't touch that one, and not sure that I would fix that one. I think with a childrens book (picture books), sometimes it is hard to give a description or synopsis that doesn't give away much.

True.
