On Goodreads there are some people that give every book they read a 5 star rating - how is that ever a faithful reflection of what they thought of the book? Not every book you read can be your favourite, no one is that lucky.Celinehttp://nyxbookreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448388663423032450.post-43414377789753121412012-03-30T12:22:02.194+02:002012-03-30T12:22:02.194+02:00Yeah, exactly.

I'm glad my review of the Wolf Gift made you even more excited to read it, that's what reviewing is all about; getting the right people to the right books ^^Celinehttp://nyxbookreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448388663423032450.post-80237391166311077982012-03-30T00:37:19.543+02:002012-03-30T00:37:19.543+02:00I totally agree!

A 3 star rating is by no means a bad one. 3 star usually means the book writing wise has nothing wrong with it, but personally I may not have enjoyed the plot or it just didn't work for me. But I think 3s should be the majority of ratings for books because it really takes something special to get a 4 or 5 I think. <br /><br /><a href="http://readingbykindlefire.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Ning @ Reading by Kindle Fire</a>Reading_by_Kindle_Firenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448388663423032450.post-23583092798970262652012-03-29T21:56:08.316+02:002012-03-29T21:56:08.316+02:00I so agree!

Since I'm mostly an emotional reader, I tend to rate how well the book jerked at my emotions, on a scale of really hated to really loved.

Most of my reviews are 4's, but I give 5's out to books I absolutely adored. Mandi Kayehttp://www.mandikayereads.com/noreply@blogger.com
