Every book read will be rated 1 to 10 in each of these seven areas. The sum will then be divided by seven, and the result will be assigned a star rating based on where it falls on the following scale:
| The Result | Rating | Recommended or not |
|---|---|---|
| 0-1 | 0⭐ | Not Recommended |
| 1.1-2.2 | 1 ⭐ | Not Recommended |
| 2.3-4.5 | 2 ⭐ | Not Recommended |
| 4.6-6.9 | 3 ⭐ | Average Recommendation |
| 7-8.9 | 4 ⭐ | Recommended |
| 9-10 | 5 ⭐ | Highly Recommended |
In each review, I’ll explain how I assessed the book in these seven categories and give you the final star rating.
