5- It’s overall amazing. Plot, writing, not corny at all, good pacing, good ending, sticks with me after I’ve finished reading it. Only top favorites ever get this rating for me.
4- Most good books I read get a 4. I like it a lot but there are one or two things that bring it down, maybe it’s a little slow at first, maybe the ending is ok but not perfect, maybe it’s very entertaining/ a page turner but has an element of cheesiness.
3- Good enough to not give up halfway through but I still feel a bit disappointed at the end. Sometimes I will think I love a book the whole time I’m reading and then the ending falls very flat- this is when I rate it a 3.
2- Not that enjoyable or interesting to read, poorly written, bad ending, etc. If a book is feeling like a 2 I probably won’t finish it.
1- A book would have to be so terrible that I stop reading it for me to rate it a 1.
