Because everyone rates things a little differently, I have created the below checklist we will use for rating our books.

As you have probably noticed, on many book review websites (such as Goodreads, Amazon & Barnes and Noble) you are usually just given a 1-5 star option to choose from when rating a book.   I thought it would be helpful to use the below checklist to have a more detailed review and recommendation process for each book my panel reads.

To see the completed checklists for specific books – please go to the Author’s Page and find the links under the Heading “Ratings/Reviews/Recommendations” – these links will be updated as we read and rate books.
