This is the reason I don't read book reviews to find out what to read. I don't really care if someone else "liked" a book because, for me, that information is hopelessly subjective. For me, what matters is whether that work has anything meaningful to say or does something interesting or challenges.
I like book reviews but it is more accurate to say that I have found a few reviewers who say interesting things about books which makes those books sound interesting to me, and whose taste aligns with mine enough that I am likely to enjoy what they enjoy.
film & theater reviewers ditto.
