What's Happening?
Goodreads has established review guidelines to maintain the quality and authenticity of book reviews on its platform. The guidelines encourage users to express honest opinions about books, while prohibiting reviews that focus on an author's personal life or attack other reviewers. The platform values creativity in reviews and allows pre-publication reviews, but it does not tolerate plagiarism, self-promotional content, or hate speech. Goodreads aims to showcase the best and most relevant reviews to help readers make informed decisions about their reading choices.
