Goodreads: A Better Alternative To Amazon's User Reviews
From the Consumerist: Goodreads is a free community site for readers that lets anyone rate and review books. The big difference between Goodreads and stores like Amazon or Barnes & Noble is there's no direct commerce involved, so reviewers aren't writing comments with an eye toward persuading another shopper one way or another. For the most part, Goodreads reviewers don't care if you buy or borrow or ignore the book, because they're just enjoying reading and sharing their thoughts.
