What gave it away? The fact that Amazon bought it, retired the API, and put a "Buy on Amazon" button on every book?
Also majority of reviews are fake. Go look at any new Ryan Holiday book months before it is released. Obviously these authors and their publishing teams know how to game the system so more people end up buying the book.
GoodReads has an incentive to sell books. It has no incentive to sell good books. All the good books have < 200 reviews and hardly anyone even knows of them.
