When I have to start reading a book I want to know if it's good or garbage, so I like to read some reviews. I don't trust Goodreads, are there some alternatives?

If you are near a local library or have the ability to borrow ebooks I would use that instead. At worst you read 3 pages and then say it's not for you and return it digitally.

There's no reason to not put down a book once you are unhappy with it even if you've read through a chunk of it either.

But yea, libraries are absolutely amazing for reading cheaply.
