Kirkus Reviews - Paid book reviews
Kirkus paid book reviews is a rip off. Don't buy their service. In March 2018, I paid $500 for a review that seemed insulting, incompetent and boring. My fine novel, "TIN CAN" about a mutiny aboard a destroyer in the Tonkin Gulf during the Viet Nam-American War, is beautifully written and dynamically exciting but it was summarized as "no standout in Vietnam...

He sent me a money-back guarantee, and I unfortunately believed him. I paid him $9600 to start, and had my publisher drop...

I have created an account with them, and now no longer need it. I have contacted the only way possible via their website asking them to cancel my account, and nothing, they are refusing to respond, nerveless cancel my account. Do not create an account with them, there is no possible way to delete it once its created. The so called customer service is non existent and atrocious.

These people are all a bunch of crooks. After they purchased something from me (a book that wasn't very cheap) they wanted a tracking number immediately. After a month they claim they didn't receive the book that was shipped. They received it. Why would a company (that claims to have 1.5 million books) be buying a book that isn't at a great price and only 1...
