Reply to comment by JamJamsAndBeddyBye in Pro-tip: If a well reviewed book has a Goodread's rating of around 3.5 then it's usually interesting by Proper_Cold_6939
I read a 1 star review of Moby Dick just now (after heading there from this thread) and there was a 1 star saying 'beautifully written but incredibly boring.' Like seriously? The fact you liked its prose at the base level isn't worth more than a single star?

To be fair, 1 say according to goodreads means "I didn't like it", whereas 2 stars already means "It was ok"
Maybe the person didn't like the prose enough that they would consider the whole book as ok.
