I think the cheapest way is to publish your book via Amazon Direct Publishing. It cost literally zero (well, unless you hire someone to do the cover. In my case, I designed the cover myself). If people like your book (or end up hating it) you'll get some reviews.

If you want detailed and quality reviews, I suggest Scribophile (a community for writers to receive critique and feedback).

For more reviews you can try Fictionpress or even Quora, though the quality won't be as good as the first two.
