Then I made the mistake of looking at the page for The Wind of Winter (A Song of Ice and Fire volume 6). The attached image pretty much says it all. 395 people are currently reading and it has 8007 5 star reviews and 3589 4 star reviews.
This is why I find Goodreads staff to be worthless. They allow this type of garbage to happen.
