Goodreads hasn't changed much, I was relieved to see, though I was not thrilled about the sale. Some use it as Facebook (45,786 "friends" and 50 books, which means they are most likely using it as a platform for self promotion) but I avoid those, and stick with those who talk about books.
In general, there seems to be more honest reviewing there than on Amazon, wherein many get their best buddies to post five star burbles to help sales. I've found myself skimming Goodreads first to check out a possible book, as always reading the three star reviews.
