Understanding Reader Reviews
It is essential to focus on three and four-star reviews to get a balanced understanding of a book's value. These reviews often provide insights into what readers found beneficial and where the book might not have met expectations. For example, reviews may highlight how a book delivered most of its promised benefits but had shortcomings in certain areas. This approach helps readers avoid wasting time on books that may not be worthwhile.
