Rating Scale

My ratings mimic Goodreads with a 1 to 5 star scale.

5 Stars: Incredible. All five stars books I own in either hardback or paperback. Every feature was wonderful. These books tend to cause me to evaluate different parts of my life. They are entertaining and a worthy read.

4 Stars: A good read that has original aspects allowing it to stand out, but usually has one major flaw. Ex: Main character was annoying.

3 Stars: An alright read, but nothing special. It did not stand out from any other book in the genre.

2 Stars: A bad, usually unoriginal, book that was either boring, annoying, or hilarious (in a bad way).

1 Star: Absolutely horrible. Books given this should not have been written in my opinion.
