Yeah, I'm sure the universe is really concerned.

Well good, it's about time a few people who like it reviewed it.
Geez, I mean, tens of thousands of people liked Scientology, right?
(Dianetics by Hubbard, on US Amazon - 4.1 stars w/ 933 reviews.)

There are still only 4 reviews of your book on US Amazon,
and mine seems the most relied on. It says under my review:
"17 people found this helpful". I honestly never thought mine
would be the most prominent (though admittedly, it's accurate). :)

The next closest review in popularity is a 1-star review entitled
"Not Recommended"... where it says "6 people found this helpful."
I think that one's unfair, though. Your book isn't that bad,
although the reviewer's written critique is essentially correct.

He says:
"the author sets you up to fail by giving you a technique that is
unlikely to work, tells you how easy it is and then criticizes a
much easier and more widely practiced method of lucid dreaming...
This technique might have better odds of working if the author
instructed you to attempt WILDs at a time of night when you are
in REM sleep which is after 4-6 hours of sleep. He instead implies
you can do this right at bed and it will work. This is highly
unlikely... I think he found a technique that works for him (maybe)
and so makes the false assumption that it is the best method and
will be easy for everyone else."

A just criticism. While your method itself is good, most people
won't get it to work right when they first lie down to sleep.
Better to use WBTB. But a one-star review is far too harsh.

I also agree with your positive reviewer above on one thing.
The simplicity of your stripped-down method is far better than a
lot of metaphysical whoopla any day. But are we going to have to
hear about it every single time anybody buys or likes it? :)

You know, back when Amy Wallace was around if I'd done that I'd
have had to make tens of thousands of posts here about it. Right?
So could you maybe tell us like every 100 sales or something?
