GARRY PUFFER SAID:
Just a few days ago, I eagerly went to the reviews for Bill O'Reilly's
brilliant new book to see just to confirm how great it was by reading
your review, but in the 800+ five star reviews there was no review
from you. Unbelievable, I thought. It can't be that this is less than
a five star book, it just can't. I have to commend you and your
cohorts for those reviews that were there, however. Mighty fine job
convincing all those people to write reviews that read as if they were
all written by the same person. Same length, same words, same stories,
absolutely incredible job. And somehow many of those brilliant reviews
got printed more than once. I guess they were so good that Amazon
wanted to make sure we didn't miss any of them.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Yes, Garry, a few weeks ago I noticed that there is definitely
something very strange about all the 5-star "reviews" for Bill
O'Reilly's book. It looks like Bill has his people very busy writing
hundreds of fake reviews for his new JFK book. A shame.
The tip-off is the fact that almost all of those short, one-paragraph
5-star "reviews" represent the FIRST and ONLY review ever written by
the reviewer here at Amazon. A few of the reviewers have 2 or 3 other
reviews, but the vast majority have zero other reviews, which is a
sure sign that something's rotten in the state of "Killing Kennedy
Review Land".

GARRY PUFFER SAID:
But wait. Suddenly I found a review that looked like yours (it was way
too long) and read like yours. Then I got pissed off because someone
was trying to copy you. And then I was so shocked that I fell ill and
had to be rushed to the emergency room. Why? you ask.
Because my friend David Von Pein had provided me with misstatements of
fact (I can't bring myself to go so far as to call David, probably the
most honest person I have ever known, a purveyor of lies). He had told
me that he lived in Indiana and ran a restaurant. And now I find out
that he's moved to New York and become a librarian without telling me.
I felt betrayed.
So, David, I guess your claim of never posting under other names is
just another misstatement of fact, huh? Well, mister, I just want to
let you know that we're through, and this time I won't come crawling
back. No, sir. I really mean it. A man can take only so many of those
"misstatements of fact." This time it's really final, David. I have to
find someone I can trust. If you come looking for me, I'll be over at
S.V. Anderson's house. I know he won't do to me what you've done. How
could you, David, how could you? We had such a good thing going.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
I have no choice but to toss up my hands once again and ask the
following question -- "What in the world are you babbling about?" --
because I haven't the foggiest.
Maybe you can point me to this new person from the Empire State who
you now are convinced is me in disguise. I would at least enjoy having
the opportunity to see who it is I am supposedly posing as. That's
only fair, isn't it?
Anyway, Happy 49th Anniversary, Garry. Maybe you'll eventually find
all those elusive non-Carcano bullets and non-LHO killers as the 50th
draws nearer.
