Those 'reviews' are irritating and make me think less of Goodreads overall (the popularity of such things makes me feel that GR is a social media site that happens to be based on books, rather than a book site with a social media aspect). But the book may not have done anything to deserve your scorn.

Another thing that really bothers me about Goodreads is that they allow people to fill up the ratings/reviews with all kinds of crap before the book is even published. So when the book comes out, it can have many ratings/reviews that are 100% worthless.
I don't care how good or not people think the book may be. I want to know what they actually think based on having read it or having tried to read it.
