Be that as it may, a score of 3.1 (Amazon) and 2.8 (Goodreads) with >100 ratings makes this book an extreme outlier.
On Goodreads, that's -4.4 standard deviations.
On Amazon.com, where reviews cluster around 4-4.6 stars, it's -8.5 SD! (Actually quite amazing, when you think about it. It's easily in the bottom 0.1% of titles.)
