Not the person who commented first, but I use the same system. If I didn't like a book that was well written, I use 1 star because, well, I didn't like it. It doesn't mean that this was the worst book in world, it just wasn't for my taste.

I find it hard to rate any book a 1, even if I hated it, since I can usually find some redeeming quality about it. Either that or it's so bland that it doesn't seem like it warrants the vitriol that a 1 seems to imply.
