weird stuff
This site doesn't post reviews per the customer but per their own formula. This is stated under the default bubble for reviews. Their secret formula is obviously based on marketing interests, which is why their site looks squeaky and bleachy clean. When I added a nice book review for a favorite progressive black author they added this creepy looking guy under the reviews. That guy wasn't there before I wrote my book review. There were only eight reviews, none of them detailed. But after I wrote my review this creepy guy Snagadeal suddenly appeared while my review was not listed. Snagadeal had books listed like The Life and Words of Robert Welch, Founder of John Birch Society; The Sinner; The Prophecies of Nostradamus; and other basically trash. In fact, Goodreads has never displayed my reviews on their home page of new book reviews for the day. In this way they are less reliable than amazon, which displays all my reviews positive or not. Right now only one of my reviews is displayed out of eight of them posted at various dates. The rest of my book reviews are basically not even available to public viewing. So what is the point of subscribing to this site? Like I said, they are running by a secret formula, and that formula is based on the venerated railroad icon. Clean, bleach clean, and money. There is no way Snagadeal would be reading a book by this progressive female author, but suddenly he was there. I am willing to bet Snag is either a hacker which means Goodreads is not a safe site or Snag is a convenient alibi. Either way, Goodreads is not as squeaky bleachy clean as it lets on. Be forewarned!

The review on the Indian and Me by Cathy Peebles says that I had many misspellings. I used an expensive editor who did a great job. Three of my characters were English as a second language and I wrote dialogue that was phonically correct according to my editor. The reviews said I was racist for doing that.
