Sheryl Hill asked Manny Rayner:

Is the above irony? Because "truthful" is the key. If you are going to lie about bad books, why would anyone read your review? (Most people aren't even going to wonder if it's irony). I love your review of A Dance to the Movement of Time. It is the reason I'm going to start following you. If that won't provide me with your reviews, please friend me. Thank you!

Manny Rayner Sheryl, I'm sorry if I worried you. What I wrote might indeed have been a little ironic. I do not love Amazon quite as much as I said, in fact considerably less, indeed, to be completely honest, hardly at all.

I reserve the right to lie about bad books though. I'm quite proud of the lies I've told concerning La vérité sur l'affaire Harry Quebert.
