The reviews are organised in ascending order, with the latest review first. There is a certain innate selection bias when it comes to book reviews, resulting in an above-average number of very positive comments; for the simple reason that one struggles to finish badly-written books by authors with whom one disagrees, there will always be an upward bias towards those writers and those topics I particularly enjoy.
If you have a problem with that, the Internet is a great place for finding opposing views. Go look for them.
