Amazon Reviewer Makes Headlines

It’s hard to comprehend how he achieved this, but Peter Harris has managed to review over 2,500 products on Amazon.com.  As an added point of interest: Harris doesn’t even have an Internet connection at his home.

That probably makes for one less distraction, though, if you think about it, and his lack of a television may make for two.  Also, to cut off a possible response to Harris’s many reviews, we should note here that they’ve received more than 17,000 “helpful votes”; he is not, to spell it out, just mass-producing vague paragraphs.

Instead, Harris is showing quite a bit of dedication (even on top of writing so many reviews).  “Mr Harris, whose hobbies include train spotting, writes his reviews at home, saves them on to a disc and sends them to Amazon using the internet connection at his local library,” reports Nick Britten.

And Amazon is very appreciative of Harris’s efforts, stating, “It is thanks to people like Peter that our customers are able to make much better informed decisions.”

Harris, who is unemployed, is quite happy with his lifestyle, by the way.  Spending all one’s time reading and listening to music actually sounds rather nice.
