I'm always suspicious of a book with less than ten reviews that are all five stars. I feel like those are either from people who know the author or maybe "traded" reviews with other authors.

Don't feel bad and waste your money on an author you didn't enjoy the first time around. It's okay to be yourself and we all have different taste. There is nothing wrong with you, you are just you.
thanks but the thing is, i'm tempted. this author has been reviewed by hundreds of people (and they are a favorite, it seems), and when i read the blurb, it has a good plot. it's just a shame that they don't listen to their editor or something.
