MY RATING SYSTEM
 
Before starting this blog I started reviewing books on Amazon and Goodreads.  Now that I am official :-),  I decided to step up my review game.  Because of my desire to give fair and impartial reviews I have developed the following 5 star rating system based on the following 
criteria:

My overall impression of the book (1-2 stars)

o   How do I feel about your book
o   Do I want to re-read it as soon as I’m finished  

Charters (1 star)

o   Do I care about your character
o   Were they intriguing or boring
o   If you write character that I love to hate that still earns you a star

Plot (1 star)
o   Does your plot pass the “so what test”
o   Do I care about the outcome of the book?

Writing (specifically the grammar and flow – 1 star) 

o   Is the book an easy read
o   Are there numerous grammatical errors
o   Does the story float off the page

How I feel about the book is important to me (which is why it holds the most rating weight), but I want to give authors substantial reasons for their star rating.

REVIEW REQUESTS:

o   Book Title and Author
