How i rate my books
A lot
of people rate books differently. For some people, 3 stars is pretty good, but
for other it is rather poor. Some reviewers give out 5 stars more readily than
others. I have made a rating scale for myself.
My rating scale:
5 Stars = THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING.
4 Stars = BOOK WAS CLOSE TO BEING EVERYTHING.
3 Stars = I really enjoyed this book, but it just didn't blow me away.
2 Stars = This book was pretty bad.
1 Stars = I actually don't give out 1 stars, but when i do it is probably because I did not finish the book.
I have to say that I’m not very fast disappointed in a book so I give a
lot of books 4 or 5 stars. However this year (2018) I decided to be a little
bit more critical with my ratings. This is because I found that when I wanted
to write a review I suddenly had a few things that I didn’t like. Because of
this the rating wasn’t right anymore.
I give a book 3 stars when I’m not really sure how to feel about the
book. This is beginning to happen a lot more than it used to. I think that this
has to do with the fact that I have read a lot more books. And there for not every
story is unique anymore.
Next the 2 star
rating. This does not happen a lot. But sometimes it does. These are you just
the books that really did not enjoy and had a hard time finishing it.
Following up on that
we have the 1 star books. As you can read in my rating scale it is most likely
that I did not finish the book. In the past I just couldn’t DNF a book! But lately
I decided that if I “hate” a book I will just put it down. Most of the times if
I keep reading those books it will get me in a reading slump.
