How I rate them:
-- Why was this book written?
-- UGH. Dont even bother reading this if you're bored. it's just not worth the trouble.
-- MEH. Worth reading if the only other choice is finally getting around to doing those dishes...or stabbing yourself in the eye with a fork.
-- GOOD. Decent book, and worth reading once.
-- VERY GOOD. Worth reading twice or more.
-- AMAZING. Definitely read this book. You will NOT be disappointed.
