4.5 STARS: 

Really great book. 
I really liked it yet something probably happened for me to not give it the full 5 stars. 
I recommend this book.

4 STARS: 

Really good book.
 I probably don't consider it a page turner or I may be lacking some connection with the story line or characters. Maybe to me, it's sort of missing something. However, I still consider it an interesting read.  
I recommend this book.

3.5 - 3 STARS:

It's a good book but...
 I definitely don't consider it a page turner and/or did not connect with either the characters or the story line. I found myself maybe rushing through some of the pages.
I might or might not recommend this book. 

2 - 1 STARS:

This book was not for ME.

Reviews are personal opinions therefore not everyone will always agree or see eye to eye.  I love, love, love reading books and the more books I read, the more my expectations grow.  

Out of respect for authors, I don't believe in harsh, disrespectful reviews.  The book you're reading is someone's "baby" and took a lot of time and dedication to write. With that said, if I really don't like a book, I won't bash it. I'll probably give it a star rating and not fully "review it". Just because a book is not for me, doesn't mean it won't be for you.
