Not unreasonable...
...as long as the book has a reasonable number of reviews.
That is one of the "virtues" of the Prime Lending Library and promotional freebies: increased reads that might lead to added reviews and thus greater legitimacy for future buyers.

THIS.
I like to check out the Goodreads reviews. There tend to be more stars even if there aren't comments. In some cases I think it's just the customer "gut" feeling without the person having to explain themselves.
I don't think that prime lending necessarily leads to more reviews, but I could be wrong about how popular the program really is.
