If Richard Adin says he couldn't put down a book, I know I will like it. If some author I like praises a book, I may consider reading it. If Uncle Bert recommends a book, it makes no difference to me, I don't read Uncle Bert's reviews.
Why should I read reviews by people whose tastes I don't know? For me, the blurb is more important than any review, I couldn't care less how many "five star reviews" a book gets in Amazon.
