Via Molly Driscoll's post, The Bookscore: the new Rotten Tomatoes for books ? at the Christian Science Monitor's chapter & verse weblog I learn about yet another new book-review aggregator site, The Bookscore: Compiled book reviews & scores.
There are only about a hundred titles on the site at this time, but it looks promising; there are still far too few review-aggregating sites out there (a mere nine that I can find are listed on our links page ...).
It looks like an interesting approach (though the number scale suggests a lot of precision where I often can't find it -- I often can't even figure out a proper letter-grade to assign to reviews).
Of course, it's also a question of how much aggregation they can (or want to) manage -- a quick comparison of, for example, their review of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas and the review at the complete review finds them aggregating seven reviews, while the complete review links to ... considerably more.
