I always look for the 1 - 3 stars reviews when I'm trying to see if a new author is worth checking out. Sometimes the issues that bother them are a huge turn-off for me, too. In that case, I'll give up the idea of getting it.

You can't go only by ratings, even a kajillion of them.
ETA: And another with over a million ratings and an average of 4.44 stars, to which I similarly gave one star and for the same reason.

Wonder if it's the same book I've read...
A book that burned me deeply has a pretty good rating on GR :

You can use the spoiler tag just like I did.
