Amazon considers a 3 (of 5) star a bad review and the algorithm acts accordingly. In reviewing books (or any product) whatever personal rating system you may have devised, it’s not always relevant depending upon the platform.

Yet the, amazon owned, goodreads rating guide translates, 2 as ok, 3 as good, 4 as very good, and 5 as amazing.

But, yeah - a 3 feels a bit luke warm when you're looking for 4-5s typically.
