Forum: Author Hangout

I have noticed that on Zbookstore there are a couple things I don't fully understand.

First... I see a larger number of "Reader Reviews" where the 'stars' are than what is shown when I click on the reviews.
Are these people able to 'shadow rate' the book without the author being able to see what was written?

Second question... Has anyone else ever posted a story/book and gotten a 'review' on it within an incredibly short time?
I mean, I guess there are 'speed readers' out there, but holy crap that was fast.

I don't know this for a fact. I've always assumed it.

If someone gives it a star rating without writing a review, it doesn't show up in the reviews (but is counted in the number of stars).

As I said, that's my assumption.
