here in germany i don't see this ratings yet, so i guess its not rolled out yet / won't come to germany.


but ratings from goodreads aren't really affecting me anymore anyway. at the first few weeks i tried to look for good books based on the reviews.. but found out quickly that this is a horrible idea. the reviews are full with complete bs reviews. people who say that books a "sexist", even if they aren't.. people who complain about complete bs that has nothing to do with the book or writing self (more about the autor and what he does outside of writing books), people spamming their review text with 100s of annoying images, people who think reviews are a place to write lyrics for songs or poems, people who just vote the book good because "it's from autor xyz" or similiar..

actual reviews who are actually about the books are almost not existing. and if they do, the people writing them have zero knowledge about the book or imagine stuff that isn't existing.

the review section on goodreads is just utter garbage. everytime i found good rated books with good reviews, it was most of the time a complete horrible book. everytime i found people complaining about the book, it was usually a "okay book" or one i liked. it seems really random.. you can't reliably see based on the ratings and reviews if a book is good or not.

for me, goodreads is only a way to track books and to find out the book text that describes about what a book is so i can see if i could like the book or not. the recommendations are okay too. but except for that, goodreads isn't worth it for me.
