Harriet Klausner: the speediest reviewer of all time... or a total con artist? Discuss.
Debate is raging is some corners of the bookish blogosphere about reader and reviewer Harriet Klausner's claims to have written over 12,000 reviews since the year 2000. (Makes my wrists seize up just thinking about typing that much!) That breaks down to 4 books a day, 7 days a week.
So is she a freakishly book-obsessed speed reading talent? Or a book blagger rather than a blogger, who's only pretending to have read some of the books she writes about and who makes things up based on the blurbs on the back of books? The fact that her reviews are almost always 4- and 5- starred has also raised suspicion.

Debate is really raging over this? I've assumed for years that everyone knows Harriet is a fraud. Her reviews basically say the same thing every time with her superlatives sprinkled throughout and only the title and author changed. If she's a real reviewer, I will eat my non-existant hat.
