Let’s take Goodreads 5 star ratings and throw them up against how I generally rate. However, even though the rating I give may change, the criteria I use doesn’t. I’ve read a book and felt one way about it, then read it years later and couldn’t understand why I felt that way originally.
What are people connecting with in the story? What is turning them off? Are they a harsh critic or overly generous? What mood were they in when they read the book? Because yes, moods and frame of mind and even at what point in their life the reader is can absolutely alter the perception of a book. Ratings, especially those on most books sites, are so subjective.
How do you rate books? I imagine it’s slightly different for everyone. We’re going to start this one a little differently but hold on, I promise there’s a point to my long winded rambling and it does absolutely relate to the book review.
