Rating Policy

Reading is a deeply personal conversation between a book and its reader, and no two people ever read a story the same way. My ratings and reviews reflect my own experiences, biases, and literary tastes at the time of reading. You may find that I fall in love with a hidden gem that the rest of the world overlooked, or that I struggle with a global bestseller that everyone else is praising. This divergence doesn’t make a book ‘good’ or ‘bad’ in an absolute sense; it simply means our journeys through those pages differed. While I strive to provide an objective look overall through my rating index framework, my final verdict will always be my unfiltered, honest opinion.

​

Ultimately, I am just one voice in a vast library of perspectives; I encourage you to read widely, trust your own instincts, and remember that the only ‘correct’ opinion on a book is the one you hold after you’ve turned the final page.

​

​

So, I rate any book on these 5 points listed below (each out of 5 and then an average for the overall rating) :

Plot - The Sequence of Events - 5

Theme - The Underlying Tone/Message - 5

Characters - The People - 5

Story - The Combined Narrative/Experience - 5

Writing - The Style and - 5

​

OVERALL = 5+5+5+5+5/5
