Extra question about the review column: after "view" is enabled, is there any way to know which books have reviews or not? Because it shows them for every book, not every book that the user has reviewed. Or do I just have to click a lot?
Cool thanks! Oh the things you learn,lol

Ariel, I'm not sure I totally understand your dilemma.
If your asking for a quick way to see all the reviews your, yourself, have reviewed, I would just do a shelf like I did entitled "reviewed by me."
However, if you are talking about other people's bookshelves...then...
Looking at your "read" bookshelf, and turning on "review," I can see in the column - by the blue arrow that you didn't write a review. However, the next book - indicated by the red arrow - shows that you started to type something. I can click "more" or "view" to read further.

Glad you like this. ☺

Want to see publication dates, pages, notes, recommender, reviews, and other things when you look at your bookshelves? Pretty handy, if your in a challenge involving a page count or maybe a Lifetime or Decades challenge which go by publication year. Here's how to turn those options on.
In this example I'm going to select publication date & page numbers. You may want to select "to-read," if you're trying to make a selection of what to read next.
◈ Select a bookshelf. In this example I selected my "mystery" shelf and then "shelf setting," as noted by the green and red arrows in Screen #1.
Screen #1
◈ Then you will see something similar to Screen #2, indicating the visible columns you can select.
Screen #2
◈ Click on what you desire: date pub & num pages as indicated by red arrows in Screen #3
Screen #3
◈ Click on "save current settings to you "mystery" shelf" to save your changes.
Screen #4
◈ GoodReads tells you "Your bookshelf was updated" as shown in Screen #5 with the green arrow. The red arrows show there are now columns for num pages and date pub.
