I'm surprised to hear this because I think Goodreads reviews are pretty useful. I like to explore used book stores and if I find a book that looks interesting, but I don't know much about, I'll typically look it up on Goodreads and skim the reviews. Reading why people did or didn't like the book has proven to be a pretty useful guide for me. I usually stay far away from current political or social war titles which might explain why it's more useful for me than some others.
