I'm with you on this. B&N has changed their rating system to include the ability to differentiate characterization from originality from writing style, etc. which I think is a big step in the right direction. For reviewers who'd like to downgrade (or praise) one aspect of the story because of flaws (or excellence), there's a mechanism for doing that. Readers who aren't so particular can just jot a couple sentences about why they liked or didn't like the story without worrying about the categories.
