Default Fake reviews on Amazon?

A lot of the reviews on Amazon are obviously written by the
seller/store. You can always tell by the way they start out, then start
listing the merits/virtues/individual functions, etc. of the item,
something an actual buyer would not take the time, or have the interest
in doing. I noticed this a LONG time ago....

I am looking at this book:

While I have not read it, it does not seem like it could be a
groundbreaking book in any respects, and most likely is complete crap
that is written to sell more services provided by this guy (and this
guess can be completely wrong and maybe this is a new discovery on how
dummies can get wealthy).

My question is, how likely is this book to have such a good review
rating that would be genuine?
