I'm kinda pissed off right now. I sent an e-mail to Goodreads support, outlining an issue with the site. Days later, I get a reply: a copy-and-paste answer to a question I did not ask. In other words, this reply did not address the problem I had, but a problem they wish I had. What's the point of a user support e-mail when e-mails won't be read!!

Notes:
(1) You can really see a difference in quality with the authors of this crossover. Tony Bedard's his usual bland, mediocre self. Robert Venditti's too stuck in Green Lantern minutiae to tell if he's good or not. Charles Soule, I have a lot of time for. If my plate weren't already full, I might actually be interested to read "Red Lanterns."

Notes:
(1) There's a crossover arc in this. On the positive side, unlike other crossovers I've read in series volumes, this one's actually complete! On the negative side, the "Green Lantern" portions are the aftermath of some eventful story I can't make heads or tails of.
(2) Supergirl as a rage monster's a stretch. She just like to punch things.

Notes:
(1) I really hate New 52 Lobo. I hate that he looks and speaks like a "True Blood" reject, I hate that his catchphrase is "Sorry, not sorry," I hate everything about him.
(2) I have a few blind spots when it comes to DC Comics. One of them is "Green Lantern." I know the general bullet points, but Red Lantern lore is too deep a dive for me.

Notes:
(1) It's hard to get excited about a Tony Bedard book. He's DC Comics' resident substitute teacher, one of those capable but ordinary writers put on a title to hold down the fort while a new creative team's assembled.
(2) Emanuela Lupacchino, on the other hand, I have a lot of time for. Shame she's only one of over a dozen artists on this.

sonal kumari wrote: "Yes , their sysytem is so old ; sometimes I also face these kinds of stupidity regarding goodreads.That's so irritating."What really gets me is that there's obviously a real person answering these e-mails, and they're making a conscious, deliberate choice to disregard everything I wrote to them. Which is a lot more insulting than just getting a response from a bot. It's like they're saying that my time and energy in writing to them isn't worth anything, and can be easily substituted for a generic query. It's even more insulting to assume I'd accept and be satisfied with their lame attempt at an answer. It's maddening, it's absolutely maddening!
sonal kumari wrote: "At that moment I felt that I'm just wasting my time with goodreads and I should use any other which is better than goodread. I had joined the inkitt team at that time but when I thought of my books..."Yeah, we all put up with Goodreads garbage a lot of the time. But we keep with it because the good most often outweighs the bad. In this case, I'd miss the community here too much. In terms of sharing reviews and discussing books, this is really the place to be. Shame about the garbage, though.
sonal kumari wrote: "Yes ! The garbage of goodreads where we only spend our times for friends and books."Ultimately, it is all about friends and books to me 😁👍
sonal kumari wrote: "Exactly same for me. Now its feeling better by sharing my views on goodreads. Thynx for it🙂🙂😌😌"Glad I could do my part to boost your faith in it 😁👍
