How Do I Grade?

• 5 = A Keeper. A Rare Gift. Personally satisfying. (I only give 1-2 of these a year.)
• 4.5 = Highly Recommended. An excellent read, but not quite a keeper.
• 4 = Recommended. A good book, worth reading, but lacks that special something.
• 3.5 = Above Average. Enjoyable, but ordinary.
• 3 = Average. Kind of blah. Not particularly good or bad. Forgettable.
• 2.5 = Poor, but with some redeeming quality.
• 2 = Why Did I Even Bother?
• 1 = Offensive. A Wall Banger.
