The Reviewers Book Rating System
The Reviewers us a 10 star rating system rather than the usual 5 but if if you are used to a 5 star rating compare below to see how to rate books and why we use this system
5 Star System | 10 Star System |
---|---|
Would have scored 1: Poor | Score 1 or 2: Very poor or poor |
Would have scored 2: OK | Score 3 or 4: Mediocre or OK |
Would have scored 3: Good | Score 5 or 6: Good or better than good |
Would have scored 4: Very Good | Score 7 or 8: Very or Extremely Good |
Would have scored 5: Excellent | Score 9: Excellent (Save 10 for THE book) |
The main reason for using a 10 star system is we feel that far too many 5 star ratings are given in book reviews and once people have given a 5 star rating where do they go from there when they read what they consider to be the greatest book they have ever read?
Note: we also allow half star ratings so if you read that truly excellent book but it’s not the greatest book you have ever read you can always give it a 9.5 rating.
