Fiction is just too subjective for reviews to really be useful.
Non-fiction, I will read the reviews and sometimes write one.
A good example would be a cookbook that was pretty much titled "An American Cookbook"
All 15 reviews raved about how great it was to finally have a book of American recipes.
Problem was the first recipe was Vietnamese Fried Rice and the second was Indian Couscous.
Matter of fact, it was a decent Asian cookbook.
