I've never met anyone who actually cares about a general product critic. My understanding is that GoodReads is one of the most gamed review sites on the Internet.Īmazon has a concept of Influencer Reviewers, but they should almost immediately recognize this as bs. I'd have liked to see some analysis of abandonment rate normalized for reading complexity, but that's hard to characterize. Between "hard to read" and "massive bestsellers, but require a reading age >12" we basically cover the obvious bases. (As to the list of abandoned reads, it's not surprising that the top five by ranking are all major bestsellers: and the shrunken, posterior proportions are for books with a difficult literary style to grapple with - in other words, they're not easy reading. Goodreads reaction to complaints by (verified) authors about this sort of abuse is to deny all responsibility. which aren't actually written yet, so these are basically fakes. One author of my acquaintance has been the victim of someone who has created at least six fake accounts in her name (taking her name and profile pics), in an attempt to trash her reputation I've got off relatively lightly, but I've had one-star reviews posted of books of mine. Clarke collaborated with Gentry Lee in writing several Rama sequels, beginning with Rama II.Speaking as a working author, Goodreads is a dumpster fire. Rendezvous with Rama is fast moving, fascinating, and a must-read for science fiction fans. Rama's unsolved mysteries are tantalizing indeed. But who, and where, are the Ramans, and what do they want with humans? Perhaps the answer lies with the busily working biots, or the sealed-off buildings, or the inaccessible "southern" half of the enormous cylinder. From the ubiquitous trilateral symmetry of its structures to its cylindrical sea and machine-island, Rama's secrets are strange evidence of an advanced civilization. The astronauts given the task of exploring the hollow cylindrical ship are able to decipher some, but definitely not all, of the extraterrestrial vehicle's puzzles. The citizens of the solar system send a ship to investigate before the enigmatic craft, called Rama, disappears. A huge, mysterious, cylindrical object appears in space, swooping in toward the sun.
An all-time science fiction classic, Rendezvous with Rama is also one of Clarke's best novels-it won the Campbell, Hugo, Jupiter, and Nebula Awards.
