I recently read a negative book review on Amazon where the only information provided was that "the book was not what I expected it to be."
I try to look at the good and the bad reviews.
I often can learn more from the people that had complaints.
Of course, most of those complaints makes me think the person that wrote it was an idiot.

I like Buds Guns but their reviews are often crap. People give a gun 5 stars and then say something like they just got the gun, like the way it looks, but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. How can someone give a 5 star review on a gun they have not shot?
"Ooohhh! I'm so important that the world can't make another revolution without my review! Gotta post it right away"!
Most reviews are crap. Tell me in a year how the product is doing under real world conditions, unless it's bacon.
It should be common knowledge that online reviews are heavily manipulated by both the manufacturers and the venues hosting the reviews. And worse yet, the reviews that aren't manipulated are written by...the public.
I get a lot of "Please review our product" requests for Amazon purchases and I usually comply if I have the time. I had one company that kept hounding me for a review even going so far as to provide me with a full refund for a favorable review. I told them I wouldn't review the product until I had actually used it but that after the bribe I would not review it at all. They left me alone after that and I didn't review it.
