If it's fiction, I don't want any spoilers whatsoever. No matter how well-known a book is, someone may be reading it for the first time. I've been quite annoyed when the scholarly introduction to some classic book gives away various plot points, or even the entire plot. Gee, thanks for wrecking it for me.
Fear of spoilers is one reason I mostly avoid reviews--too many people are careless.
