So, I have a fairly common sense review policy, I rate it based on my opinion on the book. I think the biggest difference that I have, is that I try to leave major personal opinions out of my reviews. Does it have a douchebag author who acts a fool over bad reviews? I'm not going to base my review on that. In other words, I try to keep it somewhat objective and based on the the happenings in the book.
That said, here's the basic idea on what you are getting.
No Stars...These are rare and it usually means that I just refused to even give it a shot.
One Star...Just a straight up bad book or a DNF.
Two Stars...It wasn't bad enough for me to quit reading it, but that's just because I'm a masochist.
Three Stars...My middle ground. It was either a good read, but nothing special or I hated it so much that I was willing to rate it at 3 stars just because it evoked so much hate. It takes a lot for me to absolutely despise something.
Four Stars...I really, really liked it. Totally worth the read, but still missing a little something.
Five Stars...I completely empathize with Annie Wilkes' mania. It's a book that I consider nothing short of amazing and proceed to text/call/email everyone I know and force them to read or face the wrath of the Erika.
Any half stars are just when I can't decide between the two. I'm a chick, I reserve the right to be undecided. ...
