Who writes those things?

Ever wonder who the super-reviewers are at Amazon.com? Here's one from W. Mass:

Who is Francis J. McInerney, and why would he take the time and effort to write 879 reviews for free? ''For fun,'' he says, in a telephone interview. ''Because it's not something I have to do.''

McInerney is 41, married, and the father of an 11-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl. He went to college at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and has long worked in commercial real estate. Recently, he returned to his hometown of South Hadley after years in upstate New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. At the moment, he says, ''I'm part of the mass of people looking for a position.'' While job-hunting, he has time to read lots of books and likes to write down his thoughts about them.
