I value reviews. I know it's all subjective, but sometimes if there are enough good reviews it might be the difference between a maybe and a yes in buying. At places like goodreads, reviews mean even more because I watch reviews of people who's opinions would likely match my own.

Edit: Also, reviews on blogs are a help as well. Strangely, not so much for the book review itself, but more for the visibility. I become aware of more books this way.
