It does in a away I think...

If your avg review is 4 and you have 100 reviews (mix of good and bad), and my average review is 4... but all I have is 3 4 star reviews, then I am pretty sure you are ranked much higher then I am when sorted by user reviews.

Most of their lists are by best selling by default I think so books on the rise do better as they rise, and worse if they slip.
