hell hath no fury like a gamer scorned :P

Irate gamers have flooded the page on Amazon.com selling Ms. Lawrence?s most recent book, ?The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace With Your Inner Overachiever,? sending its user-generated rating into oblivion.

By Friday afternoon 412 of the book?s 472 user reviews were the lowest possible rating, one star. Another 48 ratings were for two stars. Only 12 of the ratings were for three stars or higher. In addition, 929 Amazon users had tagged the book with the keyword ?ignorant.? Tied for second place with 744 tags were ?garbage? and ?hypocrisy,? while ?hack? and ?hypocrite? tied for fourth place with 710 votes. Gamers have also attacked the book on the Barnes & Noble Web site.

damn, whats the book about?

its a self help book. lol, she dissed the game and players so bad they went on and ruined her book and rating of the book. Rough because since she pre-judged the game, people are now pre-judging her work

It wasn't so much dissing something as it was complete lack of knowledge about what they were trying to diss.

they were angry because she dissed the game without even playing it, so they wrote reviews without reading her book, she later watched someone play the game and retracted her previous statements, and amazon people are taking down reviews from people who had not read the book.
