Beautiful Community of Like-Minded People I'll keep it brief and to the point. Goodreads is home to, amongst other things: (a) a huge array of groups to suit your particular reading interests, (b) a great way of looking up books and reading reviews., (c) a nice way to receive book recommendations, (d) an innovative way to track your reading progress and catalogue your own library, Discuss your favourite books and authors with like-minded people. Go on, you know you want to!

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!

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.

Bon: The Last Highway I recently purchased Bon: The Last Highway by Jesse Fink. What a fantastic book. Not only did I learn a lot about Bon Scott, but also the music industry & all people's views & opinions were expressed. This was not a one-sided opinion piece, it was very broad, informative & soberingly honest, making the reader think as well as enjoy the content. I commend Mt Fink's bravery in getting this out into a second edition, telling more of what should be well known but isn't.
