I believe you problem might boil down to not using Schema.org terms in 
your Microdata based representation of book reviews [1].

If you take your Microdata (verbatim) and paste into the input fields 
presented by the Google Web Master tools, you should the problem i.e., I 
won't be able to make sense of your data. Change the names spaces of 
URIs for your terms, and then repeat, it will make sense of your data.

Hope that helps.
