bot reviews I have read reviews that are false; they bear little resemblance to the book I've been reading. I believe it's the result of some clever bot scheme. Here's the story of one of the reviewers who praised a pathetic, clumsily-written book: She posted 19 reviews today, Oct. 15th; She has posted 82 reviews in the past 5 days, which would average out to 5,986 books a year. She posted 209 reviews the day she joined Goodreads, and then took a year and 7 months off to catch up, then posted 108 books on one day, most of them not rated (?). What a story awaits the author who wants to pursue this reviewer!

Very shady company! Very shady company who make a big deal about protecting reviewers, but don't take any action once authors breach their policies. An author posted a message threatening me on Goodreads when I gave a justified one star review on their book. Goodreads have a policy against this but they took no action against the author. Goodreads told me to repeatedly send in my complaint 4 times (without explaining why I had to do this, surely one submission is sufficient) but didn't bother to reply to any of them, just ignored me.

Thumbs down on new website format >:-/ I really, really don't like Goodreads' new website design. Information is spread out instead of connected to the book reader has selected to read summary of, reviews and ratings. One has to scroll down quite far to find "Readers also enjoyed" section and the book photos are oversized. Much preferred the previous format of "Readers also enjoyed" to the right of the original bood and being able to scroll quickly through the selections.

Easy to figure out and has a great user… Easy to figure out and has a great user experience. I've used it as an author and as a reader. I'd give it one more star but sometimes the site is glitchy and needs an update or two. Other than that, their customer service is SO prompt and kind!

I love Goodreads! I love Goodreads! They helped me find my new favorite books! -The Backrooms by Morgan Solis AND Yellow WallPaper A CLASSIC!!!!! I highly recommend it due to their community and underdog finds!
