Why so hard to write a Goodreads review?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there's something not quite right about Goodreads's review-writing workflow.
I wanted to review The Reliquary by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (wonderful book, BTW), but I couldn't figure out how to do that. I looked all over the book's page, clicked around, searched the page for relevant keywords, and still couldn't find any way to do it.
Finally I clicked on the five stars I wanted to give the book, and only then was I prompted to write a review. If I hadn't done that, I never would have been able to do so!
I suspect that if Goodreads made it easy to write a review, they'd have about twenty times as many of them.
Anyone else experienced this problem?
