Okay, so I’ve done some deep thinking and the system that I’ve
been using the past few weeks isn’t really working for converting our marks
into Amazon / Goodreads star rating. So what I have decided to do is change the
score you need for each star rating. To be fair to previous reviews and to make
life easier, their ratings will not be altered. However these are the new
levels for all books being reviewed from and including “Sins of the Father” by
RJ Palmer.
0-39 – 1 Star
40-59 – 2 Star
60-79 – 3 Star
80-89 – 4 Star
90 – 100 – 5 Star
The idea of this is to make sure that not too many people
get the top 5 star reviews. In my opinion not every book should be 5 stars.
Only the best should achieve that result. But looking at the old scoring
system, getting a 16/20 average over the five sections would have gotten you a
5 star still. Which is silly, if your grammar is out and your characters are
well drawn out, then you shouldn’t get 5 stars. Don’t get me wrong, if you got
a 1 or 2 star I am not saying you shouldn’t publish, but my opinion is that I
didn’t like the book and it needs some work.
