Here is my approximate rating of books I have read or abandoned part way. Whenever I juxtapose items on a list like this I begin to second guess myself and question if the rating is valid on a relative scale. Since my reading tastes are eclectic, I am comparing apples with oranges, fiction with non-fiction, romance with thriller, so relativity on a consistency scale goes out the window.
☆☆☆☆☆ I probably did not even finish it
★☆☆☆☆ Awful but I read most or maybe even all of it
★★☆☆☆ Ok, not great; some redeeming features; I finished it
★★★☆☆ Better than average; not a waste of time
★★★★☆ Really good; maybe only one weak aspect or limited audience
★★★★★ Great! Read it!
