That's definitely a problem. Even if I sort away, say, horror and other genres that I don't read, there are still items that show up that I wouldn't personally give shelf-room to. But I still try to judge them on quality of writing.
And I think I ran into the UK/US English problem with one reviewer who complained about a character who "...loaded [her tray] with drinking glass.." and complained about "cash desk". Is that supposed to be hyphenated? Maybe I've lived overseas too long.
