Since Star Ratings can by mysterious beasts to some, I thought I would explain what each Star Rating means, roughly, to me.
Will be placing this post as a Page on my WordPress Blog Page.
5 Stars:
An Epic read that I will buy in hardcover and read again and again or a book that has profoundly changed my life.
4 Stars:
A book that I thoroughly enjoyed but am not sure I will read again. It ‘might’ not hold up to the Me I’ll be in 10 years.
3 Stars:
A completely average book that I enjoyed. Nothing really special but nothing bad to note either.
The majority of what I read falls into this category.
2 Stars:
Did not enjoy this book. It might have been grammar, editing or plot issues. It might also have been Religious and Philosophical in nature.
1 Star:
Crap. Probably could not finish. Most likely Blasphemous in one way or another. Could also be that the skillz of the writer were of a 3rd grade level.
Half Stars:
Whenever a book is a Strong or Weak X Star Book, I tend to go for the half stars. They make my life so much easier!
Bookstooge's Reviews on the Road 
I wish major review sites like Goodreads and Amazon etc. did half stars. Yes, that would make life easier!

Hey, Bookstooge. I worked out my rating system. The best that I have been able to compose is shown on my about section if you fancy a look. 🙂

Thanks! That is a tremendous help, as it really quantifies how you rate stuff. That way I don’t meld my own rating system onto yours when reading your reviews.
And you are MUCH more merciful when it comes to DNF’ing things. I’m usually 50pages or 10%.
Since I can’t comment on the page, I want to make sure to say “thanks” here for taking the time to fully answer my question. I really appreciate it.
