What you're referring to is more a book discussion thread--something I see as being different from a review thread. I'd join a discussion threat to discuss my feelings about a book after reading it, I read through a review thread to get other peoples' opinions to help decide if I want to read the book or not.
I agree - a discussion thread is different from a review. It is possible to post a review that doesn't give away plot points beyond what's in the book blurb. The reviewer can say whether or not he/she thought the book was well written, entertaining, thought-provoking, full of errors, fast-paced, slow-moving, etc.
