Just hit the "Report abuse" button that's under each review.

You don't even have to give a reason any more because 99.9% of the time, the reason is obvious anyway.

I had a friend go on to Amazon to do one on my book and they wouldn't let him since he didn't buy a copy. I had already given him an autographed copy so, of course, he didn't buy, but I needed every review I could muster up.

After 50 years of travel adventures, I had a friend who nagged me until I wrote my first book, "Safari na Paka" which is travel with Cat in Swahili. That was the one they wouldn't let him review, but I have two more since that time, "If you haven't been pinched, you haven't been to Rome," and "Planet Earth Vagabond."

They are basically random vignettes of my cultural interactions around the world and my travel philosophy.

Thanks for asking!

the evident, long term love and respect he has for his wife. Four sentences.

The difference between that and the one who currently occupies our house is stark. His daily output of incomprehensible gibberish is stark too. But more like stark, raving.......

Because: to make any kind of coherent comment dissing the book, he would have to actually read some of it. There's about as much chance of that as there is of him jogging from the White House to Capitol Hill and back on live TV and in red MAGA shorts.

I think the problem is that I am drawn to inferior men. Oh, if I could start over, knowing what I know now! Cute and sexy in a guy only gets you so far!

But you never know. Men tend to want younger women, so there's that, too. It's fine. I just marvel at the luck some people have, meeting a soul mate. Oh, well. No point wasting time on regrets. Thanks for your kind response!

Doris Day is sweet on Brian Keith's character, but thinks he is sweet on a young "chick" she saw with him that night. When she goes home & gets into bed, she talks to herself about it, and resigns herself to the fact that he likes the young chick. She says, "Well, why ride a bus when you can fly?" LOL.

I'm loving to hear the voice of the best first lady since I've been paying attention, and it reads like a novel as it describes her childhood and upbringing in a way to really bring you close!
It's a big book, so I have about 15 or so hours to go. I'm loving it.
