Review: misleading ratings
Rating: 2 out of 5

I read the authors first book because of all the great ratings. While I was reading that book, I keep thinking that the book I was reading didn't see to match the comments and ratings. Once I finished most of the book ... I got to a point where I just gave up ... I came back to amazon and noticed the ratings had changed dramatically. Most of the first ratings were all 5 stars ... I am assuming from friends and family. Most of the later ratings were 1 star, and the comments expressed great disappointment and the feeling they had been mislead by the original ratings and reviews.I found this book as difficult to read and as far-fetched as the first. My advice to the author would be to make all of the main characters Australian. They simply don't work as American's. Also, as a general rule, you shouldn't write about a place you haven't been, about a people you don't know, or about things you don't understand. I do think the writer has a lot of potential ... the ideas are creative.For readers, don't take the great rankings too literally.
