I'm rather fed up with Goodreads, the listing your books is rather cumbersome (much simpler on a site like this!) and as for the reviews...   Far too many gushing ones from those who were given a free copy and one star reviews from people who sometimes object to a single sentence and so slam the whole book. Example being a biography of a 19th woman that happened to mention Irish people living in conditions akin to slavery in the Caribbean which offended somebody who said that nothing could be compared to the slavery of the Africans so the book was rubbish.

 

I think my favourite asinine Goodreads review was for Fresh Water for Flowers by Valerie Perrin (French writer, about a cemeery keeper in Northern France' was headed 'Too French for me.'
