It saddens me that this whole affair is putting people off using Goodreads. I received an e-mail the other morning from a online 'friend' telling me that Goodreads condones rape, death threats and bullying and to make sure I deleted my profile on it. When I actually found out what was going on, I couldn't believe how things had escalated.

Goodreads is on the whole good, if you stay away from the odd drama (which I hate to say seems to focus on a few specific genres). It is very much a site of your own making, like another poster here pointed out. I find it a good way to organise reading lists and reviews but I don't really use the social functions very much so avoid the drama. I've had a really positive experience with it and for what I want to do it is the best of the bunch (LibraryThing, Shelfari, Booklikes).
