Rating Criteria!

So, I haven't exactly posted any content in a while and I have thought about going back into writing book reviews again. Besides posting reviews on goodreads, it would be evident to give a full length detailed review about any book I have read.

Genre:
First off, I mostly like reading science fiction, contemporary, romance, dystopian, fantasy and young-adult novels. I am most certainly interested in picking up books that lie outside these genres, but the ones above are my preferred ones.

Rating:
I alot stars to books out of 5 and it is quite simple.

5/5 stars: When I absolutely enjoy a book so much that every single word about it appeals to me. The characters, writings, plot, everything seem flawless and there is no way the book could have been any better than it is.

4/5- A book in my opinion, loses a star for its slightly weak plot. Everything else is perfectly done, but the slightly weak plot line and the writing style that doesn't appeal well enough to me ends up losing one star.

3/5 - Now, this doesn't necessarily mean I did not enjoy the book. It just means that there is room for a lot of improvement and probably there were too many plot holes. The writing style could be the major concern here because whenever I am not able to get too much into the book it is because the style of writing bores me. Because of which, the book ends up losing 2 stars.

2/5- This simply means, absolute rubbish.

And I never rate any book below 2 stars because every writer puts their heart and soul and all their time and energy into their books. Despite me or anyone else not enjoying it, it still deserves atleast two stars for the effort the author has made.

I hope for anyone who would like to read my reviews in the future or provide me with books for reviews, will have an idea about my criteria. Happy reading!
