"Whilst I enjoyed this book I do not think it is good value at the publisher set price of $14.99. There are many Indie titles equally good or better available for less than a third of the price."
Some people see bad formatting, grammar etc as a game breaker. A review which did not mention such things would in my opinion fail as a review.

"Value" is subjective. IMO, price comments have no place in a book review. In many cases, the author has nothing to do with the price. Price has nothing to do do with the writing of the book.
When I read a review, I want to see pertinent comments about the book. The price is there in plain site, I don't want or need the reviewers thoughts on the price.
