Unlike <i>Communion, <\/i>reviews for <i>Hillbilly Elegy <\/i>are still visible, with the most recent review being published on Thursday. It has an average star rating of 3.83. <\/p>\n<p>On Amazon, the ability to review the book has been restricted to verified purchasers only, resulting in just seven reviews of the book remaining on the site: six 5-star reviews and one 2-star review.<\/p>\n<p>As Goodreads is owned by Amazon, book listings on the site often include details of the book\u2019s average Goodreads rating. This information is still visible on the Amazon listing for <i>Communion, <\/i>which states that the book has an average rating of 1.3 stars based on 45 reviews.<\/p>\n<p>On the Barnes &amp; Noble listing for the book, reviews remain open, and the book has a 1.3-star rating based on 25 reviews. <\/p>\n<p>Goodreads\u2019 rating and review guidelines state that they only remove ratings and reviews in \u201cspecific, limited situations,\u201d including cases in which users have rated books without reading them, rated books \u201cbased on factors irrelevant to the contents of the book,\u201d ratings that \u201cartificially inflate or deflate a book\u2019s average rating\u201d or where they have identified \u201cunusual rating patterns that suggest automated or inauthentic behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Review-bombing, the practice in which a large number of internet users publish inauthentic reviews of businesses or products, has a long history on the internet, and is an issue Goodreads has sought to address in the past.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, the site announced that it had introduced the ability to temporarily limit submissions of ratings and reviews \u201cduring times of unusual activity that violate our guidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1752\">Trump and Melania\u2019s Secret White House Turf Wars Exposed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis kind of activity is not tolerated on Goodreads and it diminishes the community\u2019s trust in people who participate,\u201d a statement from Goodreads published at the time read. <\/p>\n<p>It is unclear how many of the negative reviews that were removed from Goodreads and Amazon were from legitimate readers.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted representatives for Vance and Amazon for comment.<\/p>\n<p>While the book may have been subjected to review-bombing from critics of the Trump administration, genuine reviews of Vance\u2019s second attempt at writing a book were not much better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got a colonoscopy on Friday,\u201d wrote Ginny Hogan in her review of the book for The Cut. \u201cIf only that were the least pleasant experience of my last week. But no, that would be when I pulled an all-nighter on Monday reading <i>Communion<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wall Street Journal columnist Barton Swaim argued that the book suffered from \u201cegregious sloppiness,\u201d citing an instance in which Vance had the wrong takeaway from a paper about parental leave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether Mr. Vance\u2019s error arose from laziness or dishonesty or something else, I don\u2019t know, but alas it typifies the low regard he has for people who profess views he dislikes,\u201d Swaim wrote. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he wins the presidency, one hopes he can take his own counsel to practice humility in the face of difficult questions. But by then, he may have a different set of views.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Salon\u2019s Molly Olmstead describes the vice president\u2019s second memoir as feeling like two distinct books: the first half is a thoughtful meditation on trauma and fatherhood, while the second is \u201ca stiff and unimaginative political memoir.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThe tragedy of Vance\u2019s new book is that this split reminds you of who he used to be,\u201d Olmstead writes. \u201cIt\u2019s not only that he squandered a decent beginning, but that he revealed how far he has fallen from the thoughtful young man who once had something original to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1750\">Trump\u2019s Filthy Bedroom Secrets Exposed in Bombshell Book<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least two websites have limited or suspended reviews for Vice President JD Vance\u2019s new book, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, in a move some claim was done in response to a flood of negative reviews.
