I think so to, and also a well-written bad review can help people decide to buy it. For instance, I've reviewed books where I basically said, "I didn't like this book because of X, Y, and Z elements," and other people who LIKE X, Y, and Z have read that and told me, "Thanks, that helped me decide to buy it!"
