Why give it a rating when you can write an extremely long review?

I can read a book every couple of days OR I could write my personal memoirs through Goodreads reviews

You gotta do it in Goodreads format where you fill it with gifs and refer to the author like they are your friend like

"Steve, Steve, Steve... You've done it again ya brilliant bastard

Random gif

The Shining may have been your best one yet buddy. "

It's faster and easier. Most of the time I don't have to say much about the book other than "I liked it" or "it was boring af". Also, when I search for a book on Goodreads, I want to see rating, and I read 3-4 reviews. If some book already has 450 reviews, writing one more seems like a waste of time. I wrote a few short reviews, and all of them are for the books which had a very few reviews.

Couldn't agree more, I'm tired of finding dissertation after dissertation when I just want to know if it's worth a read.
