Rating Scheme

Rating scheme: (out of 5)

1. Why, oh god, why did I read this book? Not recommended for anybody. Ever.

2. There was something in the book that kept me reading, some potential to be good, or even ok but it didn’t ever come to fruition. Not recommended, unless you have some very specific reason for reading it.

3. It was fine. Read it if you like. Not bad. Not particularly good, either. Just, fine.

4. Good book. Enjoyable read. Solid. The kind of book that I used to pass of to a friend if they just needed something to occupy themselves.

5. Excellent book. One of my favorite books of the year.

6. Better than that. One of the favorite books, ever.

Most of my ratings should be in the 3-4-5 range, as I try to avoid the 1s and 2s, and there just aren’t too many 6s in the world.
