I absolutely loved the book and highly recommend it. It will be one I am talking about for a long time. This is a rare rating and I am not likely to give it often.

I really enjoyed the book and recommend it to you. Most novels I love will receive this rating.

I liked the book and would recommend it to others to read.

The book was okay. I finished it and just felt "meh" about it. You may like it, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

I did not like the book or did not finish it. I rarely, if ever, give this rating.
