For who is wondering: "MacKenzie Bezos is an American novelist and the wife of Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com."
- mathattack 13y agoDoes she have a competing book on the market? Or is she just reviewing the book with a writer's eye?
- sliverstorm 13y agoThe book isn't an auto-biography, so she could just be upset that some writer went and misrepresented her & her husband's lives.
- jessaustin 13y agoThanks, I sort of assumed this was Jeff's elementary-school-aged child. I even had an androgynous, towheaded, smiling image in my mind. ("MacKenzie" is a rather androgynous, and dare I say infantilizing, name.)
- lylejohnson 13y agoI don't believe any elementary school-aged kid could write an extensive book review like that. Not even Jeff Bezos' kid.
- jessaustin 13y agoWell of course I didn't click through to read it. I was just trying to imagine why so many people cared about what someone in the Bezos family thought about a book about Bezos, and I figured it must be, "aww, what a talented little kid, that's so cute!"
- aaronem 13y agoWhich says nothing about the person at whom they're aimed, but considerable about the person who made them -- and such assumptions as these say nothing particularly complimentary.
- jessaustin 13y agoI would apologize, but I'm confused. Care to spell that out? b^)
- arbitrarywords 13y agoWithout addressing the politics of it, it seems a good guess that anyone named MacKenzie is a 13 year old girl. http://www.behindthename.com/top/search.php?terms=mackenzie&code=&gender=both http://www.behindthename.com/top/search.php?terms=mackenzie&...
- aaronem 13y agoPolitics, nothing -- someone who can read a review such as the one Mrs. Bezos wrote, and not once question his assumption that a 13-year-old wrote it, has extremely sloppy habits of thinking at the very least.
