From Narnia. Still figuring out what my book taste is these days. But having fun along the way. I run a little free library in my spare time!

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.

5 = Amazing, loved it, I had so much fun! 4 = Pretty good book, but maybe had a couple qualities not for me (still would recommend) 3 = Somewhat neutral. It was a book. It was okay. I managed to finish it. (Odds are it took me longer to finish this because I wasn't pulled back to keep reading.) 2 = Not great. I actively dislike this book in one or more ways. I potentially DNFed. 1 = There's no way I finished this and I want other people to know I hated the time I spent with it.
