To me a review from someone who disliked a book can be as valuable, if not more than a positive review. Especially with all the self published and small press stuff out now. Some of it is quite excellent, while some isn't very good and there is just so much of it being made available it's often hard to choose anything. If folks choose wrong enough they just may quit trying. Reviews are one of the ways to sort through it all. Just because a review isn't positive doesn't mean it can't still be respectful.
