Hillary’s book hit by 900 ‘fake’ Amazon critics

HUNDREDS of one-star reviews for Hillary Clinton’s new memoir have been removed from Amazon.

They appeared within hours of the publication of What Happened, a 512-page book in which she tries to set out why she lost the US presidential election.

The book was published on Tuesday and by Wednesday morning there were more than 1,500 reviews on Amazon. com, most either glowing or scathing.

An analysis of the reviews found only 33 were from verified buyers of the book. Amazon removed more than 900.

The book’s publisher at Simon & Schuster, Jonathan Karp, said: ‘It seems highly unlikely that approximately 1,500 people read Hillary Clinton’s book overnight and came to the stark conclusion that it is either brilliant or awful.’

Amazon says reviews are intended to help customers make purchase decisions.

The ex-First Lady and Democratic candidate’s book features a series of digs at Donald Trump, with Mrs Clinton describing her election foe at one point as a ‘creep’ who made her skin crawl.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders hinted that Mr Trump was unlikely to read it.
