Hi Mark,

 

Your reviews of the following books were recently flagged by Goodreads members as potentially off-topic:

All Flesh is Grass
The 5th Wave
The Void
Moomins Cookbook
An Uncommon Whore

 

As the reviews are not about the books in question, they have been removed from the site. You can find the text of the reviews attached for your personal records.

If you continue to post content like this, your account may come under review for removal.

 

Sincerely,

The Goodreads Team

All Flesh is Grass, and so are all websites consumed by greed. I mean srsly, did you check out that twitter post from that one goodreads author showing how much this website is invested in making this an author-centric website? and how little it cares about the folks who actually produce content for this website? Simak would not approve!

the first wave was The Golden Agers and that's David and his buddies. the second wave was The Silver Agers and that's probably Nancy & Kemper & Dan and them. the third wave is just Stephen, he deserves his own wave. now he's gone, thanks a lot mean Golden Agers for driving him away. the fourth wave is Katrina Lumsden and her review for 50 Shades of Grey. the fifth wave will be all those people still to come who will write 5 stars review for all of the authors who pay Goodreads to merchandise their books and to drive away all those nasty reviewers who are mean to them and make mean shelves all about them. cause it's all about them. the sixth wave will be the Goodreads Apocalypse!

The Void; or, what lurks at the heart of Goodreads' new policy of censorship.

Moomins Cookbook, by Tove Jansson

I heard somewhere that Tove Jansson had a lot of orgies with the Moomins. and a fat ass. well, not that she had an orgy that included an overweight donkey, but rather that baby got some back, you know?
