Reviews can meaningful, scathing or 1-word slurs; all fair game. The worst review is the lack of one

But reducing a work of literature to a number?

It's hard to evaluate by numbers because everyone perceives it differently

a crime that should be punishable by the law if you ask me, they’re not real readers nor reviewers

Right

A single number can't capture the full experience and meaning of a book

Numbers are a good first filter for trash/excellence, but there’s no good next level of detail. Reviews are too specific to their authors, and I don’t want to read 50 of them to get a good sample.
