Is Amazon Deleting Negative Reviews for Hillary Clinton’s New Book?
Have you read Hillary Clinton’s new book? The one titled, What Happened?
Me neither. And I don’t plan to.
But I have read some of the reader reviews of the book on Amazon.com. At least the ones I could see.
Amazon is being accused of removing some of the negative reviews of the book. Not because the reviews contain obscenities or anything like that. Just because they are negative.
If it’s true, it shouldn’t be all that surprising. The Amazon CEO also owns the Washington Post. That newspaper leans so far to the left I’m surprised it hasn’t toppled over yet.
Readers Not on Same Page as Clinton
Some of the negative comments I saw on Amazon about Clinton’s book are below. Including several written by those who said they voted for her.
- “A good 75 percent of the book has nothing to do with ‘what happened.’ Most of the book is HRC telling about her political career, her wonderful family, her mother, her wonderful life with Bill…”
- “HRC skims over her failure to deliver a simple, inspirational vision for America as Trump did for his supporters.”
- “What happened to the negative reviews? Looks like Amazon is censoring. I read this book. A curiosity, but lacking true substance and introspection.”
- “Perhaps the biggest problem I have with the book is that I believe that the title is misleading. Although Clinton does attempt in the book to explain why she lost the election, in the end, she really seems to have no idea.”
- “For the average Joe in the heartland, Hillary Clinton came across as basically saying, ‘I know better than you what you need, and I am going to force it upon you whether you like it or not.’”
- “A good editor would have gone a long way on this project. Either cutting it by two-thirds of trite, yawn-inducing drivel, or by passing on the book altogether.”
- “I put a review on this site yesterday. It was a negative review, not nasty, but negative, and I bought the book from Amazon. It was deleted.”
- “This book is exactly what we all expected, full of anger and bitterness and no actual remorse or even the hint of personal responsibility.”
- “It’s the same tired list of excuses why Hillary lost. Nothing new that we haven’t heard from her and her minions before.”
More 1-Star Than 5-Star Reviews
Of course, there are some positive reviews as well. But as I write this email, 54 percent of the reviewers have given the book only one star (the lowest possible rating). Forty-two percent gave it five stars (the highest possible rating).
In fact, I just pulled up the book on Amazon.com. The first eight reviews I saw were ones that gave the book one star.
Among those reviews were these comments:
- “I have a table with a short leg. This worked perfectly.”
- “This is the best science fiction book I have read in years.”
- “A sad, delusional, badly written hallucination.”
- “Terrible book of lies.”
- “What happened is she cannot take responsibility for many of her own actions and blames her failure on sexism.”
Wow. I hate to think what was written in the reviews that might have been deleted.
What Happened? Hillary Lost, That’s What Happened!
I won’t read this book for one simple reason: I don’t need Hillary Clinton to tell me what happened.
This is what happens when you don’t listen to what Americans are saying. And when you assume you are going to win the election. It’s a recipe for disaster.
But I definitely would like to hear what you think happened. If you’d like to leave a comment, please do so below.
The woman is a disgrace to working class people. I wish she would move to the hood with her homies
People prayed: God Happened!
Best comment. Thanks for a succinct, honest review.

First of all the silent majority had had enough of the political machine in Washington and wanted an independent voice to represent the country.
When Bernie threw his hat in with Hillary I think a lot of his voters were upset and would not and did not vote for her. All the illegal things she did in the past came back to haunt her.
She was not the person Americans wanted then and in the future, to represent our country.
The silent majority has become sick and tired of the “same old politics,” in addition to America losing it’s grip on national and foreign affairs thanks to poor deal makers and previous administrations, We really would like to see someone “drain the swamp” and that would never be HC since she is one of them. American companies abandoned us. Innocent people killed (Benghazi) and no one tried to save them. HC taking money from foreign governments and her fake organization. Destroying any possible evidence of wrongdoing, i.e., cell phones, computers, emails, etc. The secretive meeting between Bill C. and Loretta Lynch, and HC’s help from Donna Brazile. The mysterious death of DNC staffer Seth Rich. “Deplorables” all in one basket. Many people I know had a problem with HC’s holier than thou attitude. Anthony Weiner’s ability to access HC emails. All this and more were reasons HC lost the election. She was not so great in her previous job, what made her think she would be suited for the top job in the nation? President Trump has his quirks but he has a plan to make things better for America/Americans. It’s very difficult to understand why anyone would vote for someone (HC) who wanted the position for selfish reasons ($$$) versus someone who truly knows how to fix our Country and make every attempt to make it better, as well as to protect us from foreign enemies. HC lives here too, why didn’t she [or Mr. Obama for that matter] try to properly Vett people entering our Country?? The Left needs to put an end to the violence across this Country and stop tearing it down. It started at the top and unfortunately ends at the bottom, so those who didn’t vote for her, as well as those who did, have to suffer the consequences of a woman scorned! Hopefully President Trump will win over many more democratic voters in the next election period and continue to try to ‘Make America Great Again.’ Incidentally, I am appalled by those who burn American flags. My father fought and many died in WWII and other foreign wars for the privilege of freedom and free speech, among other reasons, but there are other ways to express this behavior. It seems such an insult to those men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice so such undeserving people could do this. I don’t favor the draft, however, maybe it should return so these trouble makers will have something better to do with their lives and learn a new meaning of love for your Country.
Who is actually buying this book? She has been making excuses since she lost and does anyone really think the book would be different. Who is paying money to her and her publisher for information they already should know about her. I for one would like to be completely done with Hillary. No more news shows about her and what happened. Who cares. She is over and done with. Let’s end her “monologuing” and move on.
I can tell you what happened. Most of us are not as stupid as she thinks. We are tired of career politicians getting fat financially while the rest of us are regulated into oblivion. We’re sorry that all the people around her who finally felt remorse around her to the point of committing “suicide. ” One so much so, that he shot himself in the back of the head, Twice! We want our country back, and starting with President Trump in office we are going to hopefully get there.
I believe Hillary should be facing a Firing Squad, instead of some harsh criticism of her book, which I have no intention of buying IMHO it should have printed on Toilet Paper than it would at least be useful for something, her treasonable handling of National Security Info has to this date not been investigated seriously enough and has been covered up by higher ups, ( Obama Admin ) her so called charitable foundation The Clinton Foundation should have had the motto The Buck Stops Here, because very little of the millions they received actually got to the folks who it was intended for but instead enriched Hillary and her supporters.
You are correct, Hilliary lost, and America is the worst off because she lost. What we have instead is a disgrace. A country with a xenophobic racist for a president, who has put our vital agenceys in the hands of incompetent destructive people. A president who relishes in the reckless spending of taxpayer money on frivolous golf trips to his for profit golf clubs, all the while plotting to make life harder for regular folk. What we have instead of Hilliary is the most corupt administration in the history of America.
What happened? as far as I’m concerned primarily, Clinton’s statement at the Benghazi hearing, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” A hell of a lot is the answer.
I have NOT read this book nor am I tempted to do so. Just like Obama, Hillary can’t find a way to stay out of the news. I wonder how many of those books were returned.
HRC is a bully, most of the democrats,, the media, Hollywood Celebrities and Hollywood institutions (i.e. Emmy) are bullies. So I ask this question:
Are we letting Politicians, the major media, and adults get away with Bullying?
The vicious attacks on our president and various religions are perfect examples. One could say so what! Sticks and stone etc. But what is being overlooked is the lesson that is being taught to our children. Two years ago, a child in a nearby local school committed suicide because he was being bullied. Everyone agreed that bullying should be stopped. But how are you going to stop the bullying by children if the Adults set such bad examples as bullies?
But, I have not seen a single article on this subject that chastised these adult perpetrators. So it is any wonder why school bullying is becoming epidemic? It is well known that children are greatly influenced by the behavior of adults. If adult bullying is accepted, then why would you expect children to act differently?
Do you remember when debate was taught in school, where having a different opinion was ok as long as you could logically support it? Where did that go? My suggestion: Support for any media, or politician or Hollywood celebrity etc who bullies should be pulled. People should write to them, chide them, and request that they set a better example for our children.
Stop the bullying and restore open communication and logical debate. Convince someone because of reason and debate not because of force and bullying. Well that is my 2 cents and I am sticking to it.
I just checked Amazon, (Sept.21,2017 11:18p.m.) I think there is some trickery going on. It now stands at 86% 5 star, and 6%1 star…1300+ reviews. I used to purchase alot from Amazon, but I may re-think my buying situation and purchase elsewhere. Neither Bill or Hillery give a darn about the un-special middle class people of America.
I have absolutely have no intention of reading her diary of what she thinks happened. We who possess a functional brain already know. She lost. She is responsible, and as any young teenager would write in a diary “it was so unfair. I shouldn’t have been treated that way! 😭😡😭😡
I’m very glad she isn’t our president.. she’s a lier and can’t be trusted, if any of us had broke the law the way she did, we’d be sitting in federal prison, what bothers me the most is she got off scott free, thanks TO EVERYONE WHO IS COVERING UP FOR HER…and that’s despicable,
I will not spend my money to help support a Secretary of State that was responsible for killing Americans. Her and her husband are both traitors and do not have a clue what Americans want. The want to restore America ideals and constitutional rights. Hillary and Bill are both evil and should be on the next rocket to Mars.
What happened? She lost, that’s what happened.
It’s not just Amazon….it’s Facebook, Twitter, Google, and all others who “have your info.” That’s why I don’t use them.
Hillary is as disconnected as the rest of the insane leftists
HRC – this was terrible. America is tired of you and Bill. Do us a favor and just go away back to the hills of Arkansas. Please.
I would never read this book of lies. Liar, liar, liar and delusional on top of that. What happened is “Donald Trump”. Sick and tired of lazy congress and false promises and now opposition and disloyalty to our president. DO THE RIGHT THING FOR WE THE PEOPLE OR GO HOME.
I did not read Hillary’s book, for the same reason Robert Boyd did not read it. She lost the election because her is obviously a phony, obsessed with hiding her real self from the public eye and ear. She re-launched her campaign several times in an effort to conjure an image that would impress uninformed voters. Trump,by contrast, is comfortable in his own skin.
Bill has had numerous affairs
The Clintons are crooks
She is obviously a liar with nothing to be proud of other than her grandchild.
I also will refuse to read Hillary’s book because there is nothing in there that we don’t already know. She is a constant liar, and a disgrace to the human race.
“”I won’t read this book for one simple reason: I don’t need Hillary Clinton to tell me what happened.”” Well, you also don’t want to get her any more wealthy with your money either. I would not be surprised though, if a lot of my tax dollars ended up in her pockets. I sure as heck don’t need, nor want, to buy any of her stupid books.
The title and author of the book is “What Happened” – Hillary Rodham Clinton
Therein lies both the question AND the answer!
I can tell you “what Happened”. The people in grass roots America didn’t like her. Period. Every election has a winner and a loser. I have never in my long life seen a loser WHINE like Hillary. She is a legend in her own mind.
The U.S is in a morals death spiral. Taking responsibility for ones actions, disrespecting others and a passion for injecting themselves in others private matters is how we failed.
Politicians on the other hand no longer voice their constituents wants and needs rather represent money and party in securing their political future.
All over the world, the middle and lower class is outraged and are demonstrating it at the polls, in the streets and on social media.
Monumental change is in the near future. Technology is arming many who once thought themselves defenseless. A digital war will be waged and the victory will be those once referred to as the silent majority.
It’s the only book I’ve seen that has the question and the answer on the front cover! No need to read to the book.
I would rather have a root canal done without anesthesia than pay good money for Killary’s lie fest of a book! Obviously she has no mirrors at her house!
Here’s what happened:
Nobody wanted Hillary to be president in the first place.
Because I’m owed, or it’s my turn is not a valid reason.
I would never buy anything from HRC, let alone some attempt at blaming her failure to be an electable candidate. I didn’t like her before she ran and certainly don’t like her now. She is a proven liar
and elitist just like Obama. Just go away, no one likes you.
I’ll admit, I initially was going to vote for “None of the Above”, but then I found myself in the basket of deplorables, knowing full well that Hillary was referring to anyone who would not vote for the Democrat. At that point I said not another four years of the Obama crap because of my vote. I voted for Trump, and I know “what happened”!
Hillery should move to north korea
Hillary, just a plain simple bull shit artist! ! !!!
America finely woke up.the NRA educated millions of people about phoney crooks in Washington like Clinton ,Obama ect.enough is enough. People are fed up watching them destroy this wonderful country that’s what happened.
I would never bother buying her book – I would not want to give her any money. We do have a book
Your disclaimer does exactly what Amazon does,
Not all Americana cites for Trump. He is worse than Hillary. Been a crook for a long time
Read more and find out both sides and their all crooks
They don’t really care about the rest of us. It is all about them.
