The review on amazon and bookpool are the same, yes (why write the same short review more than once)? I don't recall writing one for B&N (I don't buy books there), and I don't see one there claiming to be from me..? As a matter of fact, B&N claims that there are no customer reviews so far.
I wrote the amazon book review first and decided that I felt strongly enough about the book to post a review here too. slashdot reviews are more fleshed out than storefront reviews, so this one is expanded. I mostly buy technical books via bookpool, so that also seemed like a good place to put the shorter review.
I hardly consider it spam to review a book in three places! Do you only tell three friends about this cool book you just read..? No.
Wow. It's amazing that one word choice can create so much off topic controversy. I did not, in fact, have a political agenda. I don't find that either gendered pronoun is superior to the other, and I picked her because _I_ am female.

Just for the record, it's /. that puts the purchasing link there, it was not in my review.
