The only major complaint that I have against GR is that it is quite slow. I don't really care much for recommendations right now, because the user-created lists will often get you what you want faster. Furthermore, I think GR does a good job of classifying the books, or rather letting their readers classify their books for them. All in all, I think the site should be more responsive, but there are tonnes of places to have long discussions on books, genres, plots and other things over at reddit.
