I think you've only got to read enough of a book to have an informed opinion on why you dislike it to write a legitimate review. Sometimes that could be only a few pages, if the faults are egregious.

This particular woman would have to give up reading if only romance were on offer. Nor would I have any interest in the typical romantic hero. Controlling much? And that's just for starters.
