Depends on how you define power, and the article is defining it as influence. Do Jack Edwards reviews influence a substantial population of people to buy/read certain books? Seems like yes. If he's the world's most powerful, that depends on if others are _more_ influential. I personally don't know of any individual who has as big a following that influences reading.
