Almost every book on goodreads has between 3.5 and 4.2 rating and it seems unrelated to the quality of the book or it’s sales stats. Anything above 4, theoretically, stands out, but often not, often it’s just a rating shortage or something in the zeitgeist leading to high ratings that year, which may not apply to next year. I only use the site myself to look for 3-4 star reviews, hoping somebody with this middle of the road rating said the good and the bad, but also, there’s a ton of spoilers in those reviews, so even then, I avoid them…
