@CIEE83 My point was that if you do receive the book or anything else for free, consumer protection laws REQUIRE you to disclose that fact. I was responding to post #12, that’s all.

I do trust the book sites because the publishers aren’t the ones who decide which entries receive books. One of the sites posts new messages about every other day that are all different ways of saying “Posting a review will boost your odds of winning again. The content of your review doesn’t matter.” Plus, anyone who reads a “rave” review from me can click on my name and see the other books I’ve rated and the rating I’ve given them.

In the old days, I did some medical malpractice and saw some awful cases in which lives were ruined because doctors used free samples. So, I totally agree with you.
