How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we donโ€™t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood writing
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on July 2, 2021
I actually finished this book in a world of books that get rave reviews and are terrible. The bar is way too low nowadays. It's not like the days when publishers evaluated books before taking them on, or I could go to a book store and read some of the middle of the book at my choosing (not just the first chapter). (I know I still can do this with many books, but the bookstore isn't close to me). This took me to Florida which is always a good thing. I loved the characters. One reviewer said it's not as exciting as his other Doc Ford books, which makes me want to buy one of those. I'm looking for excitement and thrillers. I give it a four, as I actually kept reading it and found it interesting, but it's not a five for me. I can't put down fives. I can't tell you how many books I've stopped and deleted, then went back and read the bad reviews and they were exactly how I felt. This wasn't one of them.

3.0 out of 5 starsA somewhat interesting story, but not as fast paced as many other of his books
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on October 30, 2020
Being a resident of SW FL I always like to read White's books. This one didn't excite me like some of his others. The plot centers around a new law that was to soon go into effect that some "Net Fisherman" were against and created deadly efforts to thwart.

The book is well written but incredibly boring. Almost nothing of interest happens for the first 200 pages and very little for the last 130. It took me about a month to get through it and I will not be reading anything else by this author in the hope that it is better.

2.0 out of 5 stars My least favorite Doc Ford novel so far.
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on July 29, 2000
I am struggling to stay interested in the fourth Doc Ford novel, Captiva. First, I am terribly disappointed in that the whole flavor of the book is somewhat different than the first three. It is almost as if someone else wrote it. The style is so different. Second, the first three books were written consistantly in the "third person" genre, while this one (out of the blue) is written in first person ! It is very distracting and disappointing, as I was hooked on Doc Ford after the third book. I was expecting a continuation of the same great style White portrayed in the first three books. I am not going to rush out and get number five.

2.0 out of 5 stars Highly improbable storyline

Book was clearly written for US anti-Castro mindset. Too much improbability, too much political self righteousness for my liking.
