        It's interesting to parse the verified purchaser reviews of The Rent is Too Damn High vs those who didn't actually buy it. Seems like Amazon has little incentive to filter out hordes of trolls for polarizing topics...kind of waters down the value of their rating system.

        Regardless, still doesn't warrant being in your list though. Thanks for re-working it!

            Interesting observation regarding the reviews. I just noticed that you can set a filter to only show verified purchases. Sadly this doesn't update the star widget, but the positive ones seem to outweigh the negative ones with the filter. Still, I agree that the ranking makes much more sense this way.
