GoodReads

If you're a book fan, like I am, you'll love this site, too! You can look for a review of a book you want to read and fins out what others think about it. You can review books yourself and give your honest opinion, You can become a member of the site (it's free) and join groups that share your interests and you can also try and locate books that have eluded you, because you forgot the title and/or author, and you just may find what you're looking for!

I ought to know: with help from people on the site, I found two novels I'd pretty much given hope of ever locating! Now that I know the titles and authors, I've found one online, the other at Amazon! Without Goodreads, I'd still be searching.

Like I said, I love it!

ALL of the positive 4 and 5 reviews are BOOK REVIEWS! Is everyone stupid - this is a site to rate GOODREADS - not a place to leave your Book review for some random book!
These BOOK REVIEWS push up the GOODREADSA RATING, which should be less than 2 stars - like on TrustPilot - if they would ALSO delete the BOOK REVIEWS on their page about GoodReads.
Obviiously some scammer at Goodreads found a way to get 5 star reviews for their terrible platform.
How can we trust SiteJabber - is it all like this? Does no one ever check and am I the first to notice this - and to speak out?

They take away the authors rights to their own work by giving them zero control over the author's content. Shady behavior and unethical.

It's now gone to a shameful corner of targeting authors and with policies bordering on the unlawful. No explanations will be given, your books will magically lose ratings, covers will be misplaced, books you never wrote will appear on your author profile...
After the Amazon take over, it's been terrible.

Book was good but wayyyyyy too expensive to read through goodreads. Never again will I read a book through goodreads,

Goodreads is a great place to see and also write book reviews. If you're a love books, I recommend going to Goodreads. Love this social media for readers. Now I track all my readings and can get decent recommendations. Lovely

I follow them on Instagram and check the website for more than 5 years now. Besides reviews of books, there can be found recommendations and lists of books by genres. As for me what makes this website special is to share your thoughts on books.

Except for having an astonishing library, this site has good service for finding reviews of books. Usually, before start reading, I like to check others opinion on a book. Using this service I found the 2 most important features for me - an easy way to find a book of my interest and checking reviews of others on it.

What if I was a kid? Goodreads is not a secure site. Remove yourself from the site or you will also receive emails from hookers... unless that is your thing. I am angry and this needs to be dealt with. I am going on social media to warn others of this problem. I have tried to cover the 'f' word in the email

I had a really annoying bug with my account. The "my bookshelf" icon is supposed to show the last three books that were added. Mine displayed the same three random books, all of which I disliked and had rated 1 star. After it didn't go away over a couple months and updates, I contacted their "support". It was a bit annoying to see the same three books I hated every time I went to add a new book and rating. I was told they would look into it and fix if. After a few months passed, I contacted them againthis time I was told it was reported, they were sorry it was annoying, but that no one was working in it... it was in their queue, but no promise could be made they would ever do anything about it. Subsequent contacts I always got dismissive responses from the same horrible agent. After a year and a half of having this bug, I gave their app a one star review. I got an immediate developer response that they were looking for a fix ASAP (public criticism seemed go get their attention in a way private contact did not)too bad this turned out to be a lie to make them look better to those reading my negative review. If has now been two years since I reported the issue, and months since their second promise of an ASAP fix. Nothing has changed, and the customer service rep is as dismissive as ever. I finally deleted my account. Amazon is apparently on with buggy and unsupported apps and paying people to treat their users line garbage.

The site does not require verification of reading or purchasing. Some users post fake ratings without reading the books. There are no reviews written along with the ratings. The site owner must be conscious about the consequence of the irresponsible site. Goodreads must have a legitimate policy.

Good resource but doesn't seem developed by the owner, Amazon, much at all. Sometimes you find great books to read just by seeing books that are related to your existing collection. That's a great way to browse and discover the many Millions of books that exist.

Well I've been using the app for a while now and its not bad at all. Unlike other free online apps though you pay to read the really good stuff in this app which kinda sucks, but all in all its a great app!.

Goodreads is so amazing. It's great to share what I read with other readers and getting recommendations. Easy to navigate.

I joined this reading site thinking it would be so simple. I found 2 books and tried to sart reading one. Found no way to read no where telling me to start although it told me i was reading. Sent messages to ask why no answer sent another 1 no relpy went to moderator site thought they might help but nothing so no i would def not recommend goodreads. I have got it from the library

Good reads is amazing if you are a serious book lover because it has lots of tools to help keep track of books that you are currently reading, want to read, etc. It's also a great place to discover new books and authors. My favorite part of the site is the giveaways. If you spend 15 minutes a day entering all of the giveaways that end tonight, you can eaisly win more than 5 free books a week. Highly recommended for anyone that enjoys a good book!

Do NOT trust reviews on Goodreads. Between author shills, troll wars and the staff deleting good reviews for books by authors that are attacked by their pet trolls, there is no credibility in a large number of the so called reviews. They do not require a 'reviewer' to read a book to review it.

Approach with caution, and depend on reading samples as the review section has become like a high school in bad neighborhood.

I don't find any usefulness on this website, I was searching for free books download, i found this website and it asked me to rate the book before downloading any book, it asked me to rate around 20, i did it still i was not able to download. Finally i thought i wasted a lot of time rating and going into this website. I dont recommend it

This site reviews ONLY big publisher books. BORING!

I really enjoy reading books in the app because since they have a large variety of books of different categories and its hard to get bored there.

Goodreads hosts a gang of serial stalkers and bullies. They defend and protect these criminals. If an author is attacked and complains goodreads bans them. The author guidelines threatens authors if they defend themself against vicious personal attacks their reputation will be destroyed.
Goodreads also thinks if your book shows up on their site they own it and refuse to remove it. They steal intellectual property with some flimsy story about being a book catalog as an excuse. They refuse to honor DMCA take down orders and the wishes of the copyright holders. A corrupt site designed to persecute indie writers. Avoid it like the plague.

Have been using it almost for two years and I 100% satisfied. I have found a lot of interesting poeple, readers and writers on site and keep the contact with them till now. Also, there are a lot of useful options on the website which help you track your book reading progress and rating.

Goodreads is the WORST place for authors to promote their books. It is a site that is VERY hostile to authors. There is a gang of roaming trolls that plague the site and attack them. I recommend staying far away from Goodreads and using other online tools for book promotion and social networking.
