I will only take ratings into account if there are a afair number of raters. I have bought good books with bad ratings, bad books with good ratings. Eaten bad food in 5 star restaurants and good food in 1 star restaurants.
Lots of reviewers have never tried/eaten/read the product. They review it based on a bad experience with a salesclerk or vender or because they are related to the seller.
A 1 star rating with 30 raters is probably pretty bad and a 5 start rating with 30 raters is probably pretty good, but a 5 star rating or a 1 star rating with only one rater? who knows.
