The part where the reviewer says Books is some sort of Goodreads replacement is rather silly. Goodreads isn’t going anywhere, and serves a much larger community of readers than Apple will ever have on its own, and Apple will never sell every book ever published such that you could track it in Books app. Goodreads allows users to add and review titles that don’t even exist (but I am not trying to give anyone any ideas).
It is interesting that any title that exists in Apple Book Store can be tagged as Finished, whether you ever got it from Apple or not, but it does not seem a very useful feature, at least initially.
I am not sure the ‘no unicorns’ icon for Non-fiction works for me, though it is such a broad category that nothing really would work well. Lord knows that there is plenty of misinformation in the Non-fiction category, and even books about unicorns.
