Very 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.

I wanted to give a good review I wanted to give a good review - but they have reviewers on their site who are offensive to other reviewers all the time, but get away with it because some 'like' their posts, and they actually review regularly. Very soon only those reviewers will be left because you can sense that others are fed up with being sworn at all the time if they disagree. If this is what Goodreads want, then OK - they can do without me.

Interesting 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.

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!

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!
