Ratings Rubric

It occurred to me after posting the first review that I did not say how I reach the rating that I post. This post is dedicated to laying out the system that I use for my ratings.
While I am reading the book I make sure to take note of the main plot line as well as major characters. I then look at the author's writing style and how that effects the book. Finally I pull out the RT Book Reviews rating system to post the rating for each book. The full system can be found by clicking this link but the basic description is posted below.

RATINGS DESCRIPTION

4.5: Fantastic. A keeper
4: Compelling. A page-turner
3: Enjoyable. A pleasant read
2: Problematic. May struggle to finish.
