Authors love getting reviews which indicate the book was of value to the reader. The number of stars is idiosyncratic but the comments, if supported by examples, are useful for writing the next book. What infuriates authors is being reviewed for the book the reviewer wanted you to write and you didn't. OR the reviewer who objected to the subject and condemned the book without reading it. Fan mail which is a kind of reviewer praise is always welcome.
