Reply to comment by spamjwood in Why is 5 stars the go to rating? by iamwhoiwasnow

Makes a lot of sense. I was asking on a personal level because bi personally don't look at reviews and ratings. I like to only read recommendations and go in not books blindly (aside from authors I already enjoy). I feel like if I read 5 books .5 will make a huge difference if they were all meh but some were better than others so you're meh.5

Just my opinion on my own rating.

No worries. I think you'd actually find more value from just finding a few people that have similar tastes to your own and then using their "I hated it", "It was OK," or "I loved it" standard. Everything's subjective so one man's treasure is another man's trash.
