AFAIK, there is no Rotten Tomatoes equivalent for books. It is badly needed.
A few public libraries subscribe to
Book Review Digest Plus. I've never seen it on-line and so can't venture an opinion.
Ditto for
Book Review Index.
www.realclearbooks.com is worth knowing about, but is not anything like the complete guide to signed, paid-for, reviews that I need.
Personally, I google the book title, in quotation marks, and the word review. Most of the hits will be for places trying to sell the book, but often I get lucky.
