I've been mislead by a few high ratings for lousy books lately. I think people generally overrate books. The Gooreads way seems to be that "I liked it" should always be 5 stars.

And then, it's so frustrating to see a bunch of 5-star ratings full of strong recommendations about how it was THE BEST book of the year or whatever, and then to decide based on that to give it a try and have it be mediocre, or just plain bad.

I'm going to have to find other places to get recommendations. Goodreads used to be my source.
