I have read two books from them that turned out to be absolutely awful and poorly written, though on balance they also turned me on to one book that was just phenomenal. Either way, their track record is spotty and so I tend to stay away from their books unless I am thoroughly 100% intrigued.

Just curious to see if I have read the reviews for them.
To whom do you turn when you want to learn more about new books?

If you want to attract NEW readers, the site needs to be reworked from scratch

I remember reading that book. I don't recall being impressed by it. *NM*

Perhaps, but I think "rating-based" reviews distort views to fit into a template

Bookstores here generally don't do recs very well (outside of independents, that is)

Forgive me my sins but most of my reading for the last year has been comics.
