How I Rate Books
I have an idiosyncratic ranking system for books. I consider four different elements of any book to be most valued in my system:
- Content: What is the book about & does the author bring forward this "aboutness" in a compelling & intersting manner?
- Organization: Does the author organize their subject matter effectively?
- Communication: Does the author communicate their subject in a readible & enjoyable way?
- Beauty: Is the work inspiring?
There is a maximum value of 2.5 in each category, with a combined score of 10 being the highest available.
