I only use reviews for info. Like is it part of the series or stand alone and does it have anything in it I should be aware of. Gone are the days where you can trust review sites to tell if a book is worth reading or not. The best thing you can do is read the sample and go from there.

I find the reviews useful -- however, I only read the one and two star ones!
Until someone gets well over a few hundred reviews, it's too often only those who feel obligated (or, are getting paid) to give a good review.
