HermioneGranger answers “Why is even the rating of this book so...”

A Goodreads user asked this question about The Selection (The Selection, #1):

Why is even the rating of this book so high? I'm like 100% sure I will give it a 1 star if I read it.

Even though the visible views list negative things about the book, you can't always expect the book the go that way. Besides, when you hate something it's easier to make a rant about it-which is why even though the ratings were high, but the visible reviews were very low- and we all know that. Overall the ratings are high, so you shouldn't rely on the visible ones all the time. If you're afraid of wasting your time for a book you didn't like, the watch a spoiler-free review on YouTube. Again, you can't always rate the book without actually reading it. (less)
