I'd do nothing but reading if I could (ok, maybe eat some great food, buy some fancy shoes between two books...oh, and spend some quality time with the gorgeous guy I married while I am on reading-break anyway...)
I was amused by this, although it was a bit like a farce.
So the stars go for the entertainment value...
The reader has to be in a certain mindset to enjoy it - no real intricate plot or complicated construction.
