We've created several notebooks (in python 3.7) to illustrate how to download/read these datasets, and provide some basic explorations of the data.

download.ipynb: If you prefer to download datasets without GUI. This notebook will show how to download files in bash/python. Note: It requires installing the gdown package as the datasets are hosted on google drive.
samples.ipynb: This notebook will show how to read '.json.gz' files line-by-line and display sample records of each file.
statistics.ipynb: This notebook will calculate some basic statistics of the datasets (except the largest complete interaction file 'goodreads_interactions.csv'). Running this notebook may take a while.
distributions.ipynb: This notebook will operate on the complete interaction file 'goodreads_interactions.csv' and provide some explorations of the distributions of these interactions. Note: Run this notebook only when you have LARGE memory (recommend 32g+)!!
reviews.ipynb: This notebook will calculate some statistics of the review datasets.
