A deeply-nested book review; also see Responding to MacKenzie Bezos's One-Star Slapdown (Bloomberg Businessweek)
"In Ms. Bezos’s review, the only one-star review “The Everything Store” has received, she accused Mr. Stone of making factual errors and, noting that Mr. Bezos was “never interviewed for this book,” took issue with Mr. Stone’s use of the phrases “Bezos believed” and “Bezos felt.” Readers, she wrote, should “take note of how seldom these guesses about his feelings and motives are marked with a footnote indicating there is any other source to substantiate them.”Book About Amazon Is Reviewed on Amazon, by Founder’s Wife - NYTimes.com
Sarah Gelman, a spokeswoman for Amazon, confirmed that the review was written by Ms. Bezos. In a statement late Monday, Craig Berman, Amazon’s vice president for global communications, said: “Over the course of the author’s reporting, Amazon facilitated meetings for him with more than half a dozen senior Amazon executives, during which he had every opportunity to inquire about or fact-check claims made by former employees. He chose not to.”"
