User reviews
It works but it puts an unnecessary extra step— instead of immediately taking you to the site, it opens a sub-menu, asking you if like to 'Search goodreads Now,' or 'Search goodreads Later.' What's the purpose of this? Choosing 'Later' does not save your highlighted book for later. Better choose "Now" and check your browser's history later if you don't have the time to read the article and reviews. Imagine if this add-on is like Google's "Search Google for..." One click and you're there. But instead, it's inconvenient. 2 stars.
