Review Criteria

Criticism

I am a critic and I will be fair.
I am a critic and I will be fair.
I am a critic and I will be fair.
I am a critic and I will be fair.
I am a critic and I will be fair.
I am a critic and I will be fair.
I say this to my self over and over again when I am writing reviews and I promise you that I will never publish a review that isn't fair.

I will always review books that somebody from the 3rd to 12th grade will be able to read.  I pick books to review based on my own personal interests and what you suggest, although I cannot promise to always review every suggested book! I am not afraid to voice my opinions on a book so be ready for both scathing reviews and reviews that seem as though I pulled them from magical fairy princess land.

In addition, I am open to your feedback.  I may hate a book, but hey that's my opinion.  For example I absolutely cannot stand books about talking animals, but that may be your thing and I am fine with that.  I think that you guys, as fellow readers, should read every book that you want even if I cannot stand it.  The real point of this blog is to get conversations going and people talking about books.  My reviews are there just to give you an idea of what you may like.

My Ratings

I rate books on a 5 star system.  This system uses little books on hooks and fishing terminology.  *Awwwwwwwww* Anywho, I also rate books in different sections.  I'll go over that in just a little bit.  So if you are in a hurry and can just skim a review, look at the overall section.  I may give a book 2 hooks in Character Development, but then give it a 4 overall! Please don't get confused because I would hate to turn you off from a good book on accident!  Also, you can see my key for ratings on the far right column.  You are looking, I know it!  Feel free to scroll up and down and check 'em out. 

Sections

My sections are as following - 

1. General info (Date Published, Series, etc.)

2. Summary 

3. Character Development

4. Language Usage

5. Idea

6. Overall

7. What I Thought

8. Difficulty

9. Length

10. Who should read it

11. Finally, If you liked that book what else you should read

I will only give ratings for 3-6 because the others don't really need it.  If you only want to read one of the sections feel free to do that too.  I would recommend overall of what I thought.
