My Rating System
5 stars
I loved it! In fact, this book will become part of my personal library. I look forward to reading it again. I definitely recommend it, but you will have to go out and get your own copy because I will not part with mine.
4 stars
I really, really liked it! This book was really good. I would read this again if there weren’t so many other books on my TBR (to be read) pile. I recommend it and I will be happy to pass along my copy because good books like this should be shared.
3 stars
I liked it! I enjoyed reading this book once and now I can cross it off my TBR list. I recommend it and will pass along my copy, hoping that you will enjoy it and pass it along when you are finished.
2 stars
It was okay. There was something missing from this book. Maybe I didn’t care for the plot or I couldn’t get into it or I didn’t like the characters, etc. It was just so-so, but you can have my copy just in case you might feel differently about it.
1 star
I didn’t like it. I may not have even finished the book. I don’t recommend it. I wish that I had checked it out from the library instead of purchasing it. You don’t really want my copy. You probably won’t see my review on this because my mother always told me not to say anything if I didn’t have anything nice to say.
