I really think GoodReads is the exception to this though. When I look through other people’s ratings I frequently see them using the full spectrum.
Furthermore, it’s very common for written reviews to say that a book really deserves some fractional number of stars, but Goodreads forced them to round.

Of course, the average ratings suck anyway...
