Amazon reviews aren't bad but I tend to skip over most of the 5 star reviews. I find the 4-2 star reviews give me a much better idea of what the book is like. My experience with buying books based on 5 star reviews is that too blasted many of the 5 star reviews seems to be written by someone who has never read the book but liked another book the author wrote, was given a free copy and wrote the review before reading the book or, in my darker moments, by a descendant of Eliza.
