I want to be sure we're talking about the same thing. You said
On the book info page I click "edit book", then "Show metadata"
I said Open your review.
I don't mean "open the book data by clicking something on the book's main page." When I do that, I see what you described. I mean open your own review of the book as if you were going to edit your review. When I do this for this book, I see an "edit metadata link" on the bottom right, just above the "close" link. Does that link not appear in your edit page for your own review?

So, I can add more info on some of the questions, but not on the ones where there's no "add more answers" link (What is the perspective of the narration?, Is this book told in the past, present, or future tense?, Do you think there is a strong female character in this book?, Do you think there is a strong male character in this book?, Does this book follow a few characters or many? )
It's been like this for a whole but it didn't used to be like that when registered on the site. Why was it changed? And why are there questions in there that you're not able to answer?
