Hmm, GR has rolled out quarter star ratings. Not sure how I feel about that.

Getting used to it myself

I'm having a hard time selecting full stars. I think it's a muscle memory thing because I'm used to clicking the middle of the star and now I have to go over to the right more. I'll probably never use these partial stars on purpose. 5 is enough for me. I don't need 20.
I still don't care for the new review page but this is something. I had a few half-star reviews I might go back to now.
It's not the best. My problems are with the new search results page. It has visible bugs in it. It's been over a month and they still aren't fixed. Why are you rolling out more new things instead of fixing known bugs of the first new thing you released? GR users should not be your beta testers after you go live.
Sometimes GR still tells me a friend has "fread" a book.
That's hilarious. Never seen that one before.
I know how I feel about it. It's stupid and pointless and a waste of time. How the heck is your .7 supposed to mean anything to anyone else!?! Idiots!
But it was their number 1 request! Well, besides all of their existing code should work 100% of the time and it doesn't. And their Amazon import scripts bring in hats and shirts and the like along with numerous bogus editions of books and comics that they allow retailers to create and just import blindly.
