It feels like forever ago since I gave a book tag a go. So, when I saw the Goodreads was wrong tag on ZeZee with Books, I knew I had to give it a go. I already love seeing how my ratings compare to the average on Goodreads so this tag seemed like it would be a lot of fun. Here is the Goodreads was wrong tag.
What is the highest-rated book that you gave a low rating?
That would have to be It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover. It has an average rating of 4.15 stars but I gave it 2 stars. I was not a fan of the book at all and feel like the hype it has got recently is being given to the wrong book.
What is the lowest-rated book that you gave a high rating?
That would have to be Faking It by Beth Reekles. It has an average rating of 2.92 stars but I gave it 4 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed it for a number of reasons and feel like the low rating is completely wrong. I’d highly recommend giving it a read.
What is the most popular book that you disagree with the average rating?
For this one, I’m going to say The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. It has 3,022,845 reviews with an average rating of 3.96 stars. I gave it 2 stars and looking back feel like now, I would have given it 1 star. It was a read I would be very happy if I forgot completely.
What is the least popular book that you disagree with the average rating?
I’m going to go back to Faking It by Beth Reekles. It only has 688 reviews on Goodreads with an average of 2.92 stars. But, as mentioned before I gave it 4 star and feel like it needs so much more love.
Do you tend to agree or disagree with Goodreads average rating, and do you use Goodreads as a guide for books you want to read?
I tend to agree with the average ratings if I’m honest. More often than not I rate them just like the average but I do feel like it isn’t always right. That being said I do often check to see what the average rating of a book is on Goodreads before seeing if it worth picking up. If it has an average of under 3 stars, I tend to need some convincing to pick it up.
There you have it, the Goodreads was wrong tag! When has Goodreads and the average ratings been wrong for you? Let me know in the comments below!
