That's my opinion, though. I'm very passionate about reviewing.
This lays it out for me. There is no way that I am going to wade through pages of so-called reviews just to get to the one genuine review. Heck, because of this, i am skeptical about every 1-star or 5-star review that I will come across. It shouldn't be this way. Potential buyers should be able to read constructive reviews of a product before spending their money on that product. We all have a price point as to whether or not we will make a purchase, but that decision should be up to the consumer and no one else.

IMO reviews of books should be a review of the content.
