I feel your pain, finding good books is difficult and one of the reasons is so much is romance, even if it isn't in the romance section.

It's basically a steaming pile.
My theory is that Amazon runs goodreads on a minimum budget because of the links. There is no advantage to fixing anything. In my opinion the biggest problem is that there are too many 5 star reviews and 3 is considered a negative rating. This makes it difficult to use to find books.
