Frist book rankings getting slammed by bloggers

This is an interesting new tactic; article over at Raw Story: http://www.rawstory.com/exclusives/byrne/frist.htm.

Yes, the grass-roots use of the internet is expanding. And expanding. And expanding.

<FONT face=Georgia>One reviewer asserted that Frist's advice on what to do in case of a terrorism attack is peculiar.

"Rather than ... duct-taping our windows and doors, Frist suggests rather that we switch from a diversified portfolio to one which will profit most from the coming crisis. His no nonsense approach to crisis investing includes chapters on shortselling, margin calls, and inside advice on pharmaceutical stocks."

Frist's book, "When Every Moment Counts: What You Need to Know About Bioterrorism from the Senate's Only Doctor," has plummeted in the Amazon user rankings.

So far, in fact, that Amazon seem's to have taken the average user ranking off the lead page, which at the time of this writing had dropped to 1.42 out of five stars. One star is the lowest possible ranking on Amazon.

The book, published by Rowman & Littlefield, is ranked 94,443 on Amazon's sales chart. </FONT>

My library card is the best "savings" coupon I have.

I think I'll pass on buying this book.

The question is, will you check it out from the library?
