Your bias of not posting a bad review of a flawed product is doing people who pay money for it a disservice, to my mind.
I didn't post a review of any kind in that instance. I set the book aside unfinished, and I don't make a practice of reviewing books I've barely started.

Figure it like this. Suppose you see a book on Amazon that looks interesting, so you "look inside" to check out the first few pages. They're not to your taste. Do you post a review?
