Ever hear of a book review that comments on the editing?

I found a hefty (long) review of a book in which the reviewer added comments specifically sizing up the editing (content). I have read reviews that mention length of the book or chapters and relevance/irrelevance and such relating to writing style. But I have never before seen a specific reference to the editing as good or bad as part of a review of a book.
I'm researching book reviews as I've been asked to review two new releases.
Is this common or unique in book reviewing ?

I don't know how common it is, but I've seen such reviews many times.

I've seen a few that commented on the editing when the editing was...er...lacking.

I did a book review once where I commented -- among other things -- that the poor editing made the story harder to read. Typos were legion.

I should probably note that this was a self-published book, but there you have it.
