4 Stars – This book was a wonderful read, a genuinely enjoyable experience. While not perfect, this is a book that I would recommend to my friends.

2 Stars – This book was a struggle to finish. It had something lacking with the characters, plot, or writing style.

1 Star – This book was not for me.
