It seems silly to expect someone to read the whole book before evaluating it when the creator didn't even read the whole book before publishing it

If someone claims "the book is total shit", it is entirely reasonable to ask if they've actually read it, regardless of who or what wrote it.

If you flip through something claiming to be a "book" and immediately see that a majority of pages just contain nonsensical bulleted lists, and furthermore see that chapter titles are printed overlapping with the book title on each page, you can correctly conclude the entire thing is a zero-effort pile of shit without wasting any further time to read it.
