Jeanne answers “Why are 50% of the reviews from the past...”

Kirsten Hacker asked this question about The Midnight Library:

Why are 50% of the reviews from the past couple of days less than three stars, yet this book has an overall rating of 4.31 stars? Is this book a magnet for paid-for reviews while those who spend their hard-earned money on it don't like it?

Jeanne I spent nothing on it, I took it out of the library. It was pleasant, but in my opinion, it was totally unworthy of the hype. It was enjoyable enough …moreI spent nothing on it, I took it out of the library. It was pleasant, but in my opinion, it was totally unworthy of the hype. It was enjoyable enough because it read quickly and didn't tax the reader. I prefer something a bit deeper, or something with more beautiful prose, or something a bit less predictable and preachy. But it was entertaining.(less)
