Yeah, I see that alot too, so I usually skim through the reviews. Usually you can tell how good a review is by the headline and the length. If it's under two paragraphs I'll usually just ignore the review.
There was one person who gave a 1 star rating to These Haunted Seas because it's the omnibus edition of previous novels. They titled their 'review': "This is not a new book".
*facepalm*
Sand and Stars (the omnibus of Spock's World and Sarek) has 3 reviews, all saying, essentially, that it's nothing new. However, 2 of those 3 reviews are 1 star complainers. The third review, at least, is a much more legitimate 5 stars, with an explanation of its omnibus status, and a recommendation to buy it if you don't yet own the two previous works.There was one person who gave a 1 star rating to These Haunted Seas because it's the omnibus edition of previous novels.

There's actually two of those nowThere's a review for Star Trek: Missions End that reads: "Please indicate if a novel is a comic book instead of a paperback. This helps very much, When ordering in the future. Please try especially for collectors sake."
And then this fucktard wrote: "didn't realize that this was a comic book when I ordered it .... threw it in the trash!"
He threw it in the trash? Doesn't that moron know that Amazon has free returns? IDIOT!
. Maybe I'm weird, but I would think that someone buying something like this would do at least a little bit of research... at least enough to find out it's comic book. Besides, I would think the fact that it says a five issue miniseries in the blurb might point out that it's just a novel.
