Hmm...
> Our algorithm scores books based on popularity and critical acclaim (critic reviews + awards). While you may disagree with individual scores or rankings, directionally, our scoring will help you find a new book you love.

That's a valid approach, but I wish there was more information on which awards and critics they're including in their data set (and which are excluded) and how they weight them.
IOW, how many Hugos to a Nebula, Galaxies to a BSFA, or Locuses to a Prometheus?
