MUVery useful but buggy Found it very useful but it can also be very slow and not very responsive. Have encounter bugs from time to time.

GBbot 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!

GBInteresting idea, but let down by selling your info. Thought this was a good site, allowing you to keep track of the books you have read, set reading goals for yourself, even see what friends are reading. Unfortunately, quickly found the site shares your information on a massive scale. A few days after signing up, I saw a huge influx of spam and scam messages being sent to me e-mail address. Been reporting and blocking these messages for a 2 weeks now, and there seems to be no end to it. Definatel has to be this site, as there are no other new sites I've joined in the past few months.

GBUseless I can't claim any of my books because someone with the same name as me already has a GoodReads account, so all books published under that name are automatically added to her profile. Since GoodReads are apparently so stupid they have no process at all for two writers having the same name.

AUBon: 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.
