Christopher Pike needs your help.
Caligirl_08 has started spamming Amazon with sockpuppeted reviews! How do we know? Because Christopher Pike told us so:

Ka Controversy

It appears that some people have begun reading The Secret Of Ka and a great debate is taking place on a livejournal community. I haven’t used livejournal in nearly a decade but if you would like to get involved in the debate, head here.

It’s important to know, that Christopher Pike has made no comments (despite the claims from this livejournal community that they have received communication from him – which is untrue) regarding inaccuracies in the book.

My opinion:

(While at least one argument is valid (Istanbul is not the capital of Turkey), the livejournal community is sponsored by someone of Turkish background who has taken things much too far and is trying to rob fiction authors of their artistic license (she is upset with the names used in the book, though people all over the place can have any name, and every city has a myriad of cultures: the story is not a generalization of the culture but a narrative of one girls experiences there. It is not a guide book on Istanbul, though it appears this girl wishes it were. Ka is the story of Sara, and her experiences in Turkey, the people she meets and her personal understanding of the world around her.)

Unfortunately, she’s launched a campain, spamming amazon.com’s review section with many reviews written under different aliases – so if you’ve read the book, whether you liked it or not, please take the time to write a REAL review!
