Curious why the #1 is only 2.5 stars on Amazon

At some point someone with a megaphone encouraged their listeners / viewers to brigade the book with bad reviews. They did so and the low star count is the result.

I'm trying to Google for details over the brouhaha but can't find the correct keywords.

I was also curious since it was so obviously a brigade with most reviews posted on the same day. It seems he angered Breitbart fans with a tweet: https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/175240732045619200
