This is my practice, too (unless of course it's a Goodreads friend whose judgment I trust).
Still, some books truly are absolutely awful and deserve one star. In my own case, where a distaste for a book is due at least in part to my being the wrong audience, I'll give it two stars. Not unreadable, but not for me.
