I saw a poll once re: 5-star rating systems:

Roughly 50% tolerate or like them The other 50% completely hate them

Rating system for stuff like books needs another dimension.

One for how well book's topic or genre gelled with you as a viewer.

Another for execution of the concept.

Some books are well written but not for me. Some are interesting enough but flawed. One dimensional scale would land both squarely in the middle
