Amazon would be much better-served with a review system that enables users to choose a 5-start rating, AND an overall thumbs up/down recommendation. Then, users will be able to see how good a book is based on how people rate it, and what percentage of readers recommends it. Unfortunately, this system would not solve the problem of eliminating garbage reviews.
