We then add up the scores to come up with a final star rating.
5 Stars -- We devoured the book and need more! We loved absolutely everything about it and are now suffering from a massive book hangover that we might never recover from. Will be added to our "Read Again and Again and Again" List.
4 Stars -- We might have over-indulged. Give us a day or two to recuperate. Will more than likely re-read.
3 Stars -- We've had our fill and it was good. Might re-read.
2 Stars -- We're mildly satisfied but not thrilled. Probably won't re-read.
1 Stars -- We're a bit nauseous, and definitely won't re-read.
