I decided to avoid it when I read about all of those writers freaking out over bad reviews, and how it practically started World War Three.McKenzie McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707799179783394809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1614293833163060736.post-29466410795365508002012-05-16T13:58:07.282-07:002012-05-16T13:58:07.282-07:00I use star ratings, and I guess I've never had...I use star ratings, and I guess I've never had too much of a problem with them. I don't use what it says on Goodreads, though--1 is books I hated, 2 is books I didn't like, 3 is okay books, 4 is good books, 5 is amazing books. I don't think the descriptions on Goodreads make sense. But that's just me. I like things to be mathematically correct, and for me, okay is the exact middle of the road. Between 2 and 4 stars. So I use 3 as okay instead of "liked it". <br /><br />I usually don't have the problem that some people do, where they read something and like it, but it's not what is usually considerd "good literature". I guess I have trouble understanding this. If I liked the book, then the author was doing something right, so therefore it was good. Again, it's just the way I think.<br /><br />Great post--it's an interesting thing to think about.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877078800904184885noreply@blogger.com
