Well. Maybe you are just very lucky.
I am not.
So, I don't care about amazon's rating. I come to amazon after I decide that I would like to investigate a certain book. I never browse amazon for 5 star books. It is.....unreliable. Cannot believe that you can do it.

The only thing that can attract me with amazon rating is a number of the reviews. If a book was published more than 1 year ago and it has less than 15-20 ratings, it makes me wonder. Maybe it is stupid as well
