That review is clearly not about Pest Control - no way, no how.
Something is definitely amiss, and it may be time to contact the sysadmin who is called Ted (never contacted him myself but perhaps someone can suggest the best way) and ask for your credit refunded.

This was an assignment review, therefore he had to pass the reading test. Having just done so myself, I don't think it would be easy to do without reading the story, (nothing's impossible of course, but why bother when you can read a great story instead?)

If you poke through reviews of his stuff (Honey Hamburger 4, I believe), you can see where he copy / pasted text. I'm guessing (to be kind) that there is a big language barrier, and this guy doesn't "get" the whole review process. But yeah, a credit refund would be nice. I'll try reaching out to Ted.
