3,544 of the 21,203 total reviews for this product use substantial repetitive phrases between them. These reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.2 while reviews without substantial repetitive phrases rated this product an average of 4.0. Based on our statistical modeling, the discrepancy in average rating between these two groups is significant enough to believe that the difference is not due to random chance, and may indicate that there are unnatural reviews.
Warn Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 243 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 4.1. Even though deleted reviews don't affect the average rating, the fact that action was taken to delete reviews raises some red flags about the integrity of the reviews for the product as whole.
There are a few limitations to keep in mind regarding the Deleted Reviews test:
- We don't have a magic ability to collect every single deleted review; we can only identify reviews as deleted if we collect them on one date and then notice they are no longer visible on a subsequent date.
- We have no information on reviews that were never published in the first place.
- We also don't know why these reviews were removed. It could be action from the platform, personal decision by the review author, part of an entire account closure, even some data error on our part, etc.
Warn Rating Trend

- 65%
- Created over 282 days
We counted 21,203 reviews for this product over the span of 2,827 days, an average of 7.5 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 18 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 282 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 13,683 reviews were created on just 282 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.
Warn Suspicious Reviewers
Take-Back Reviewers

Pass Unverified Purchases
3,251 of the 21,203 total reviews for this product are unverified purchases. This is within an acceptable range and it does not appear to be significantly affecting the overall rating for this product.
Unverified purchases may be the result of Kindle Unlimited readers, buyers who didn't pay full price, or reviewers who did not purchase the product at Amazon. Read more about our Unverified Purchases test.
