  • How do you think of ratings?

    Taste is subjective, but the star rating system is supposed to communicate the average opinion of a book. However, the way we use the star rating system is also subjective. I’ve been wondering what other people mean when they give their ratings. So what do you think the different numbers of stars mean?

    For me: 5 = Perfect 4 = Great 3 = Good 2 = Fine 1 = Bad 0 = Terrible

    I’m curious whether this is about how others think or if folks have totally different rating systems in their heads.

    Why don't they use quotations marks? Is the whole book just apostrophes?
