The 5 Star Kid...

I should change my Amazon reviewer name to "The 5 Star Kid" because I have a habit of giving everything 5 stars. Maybe I'm just a simpleton but I either enjoy something or hate it. If I enjoy it then it gets 5 stars. I don't spend my time reviewing things I hate (which honestly doesn't happen much, if at all).

I honestly don't see much difference between 1/2 stars or 4/5. It's either all or nothing with me lol. The worst review I've given was a 3 and that's because the book didn't stink but it was a total missed opportunity.

Am I doing readers/the author a disservice by rewarding them with a 5 based solely on the fact that I enjoyed it and not any "real" criteria? I just don't see the need to critique every minor problem I come across. I'm willing to overlook pretty much everything (other than a total inability to grasp any rules of language or grammar) as long as I'm enjoying the story.
