A New Book Rating System

 As is probably obvious, I like to review and rate books on goodreads.com, then post those reviews here as well.  Goodreads ratings are from 1- 5.  What those ratings mean has been a little vague to me.  So, I've come up with my own rating system:

1- Waste of time, morally repugnant.

2-Meh.  Just ok.  May have objectionable content.

3- Glad I read it.

4- Excellent and recommendable.

5- Amazing and unforgettable.  A page turner AND makes me want to be a better person.

Bad language takes my rating down one step.  Really bad language takes it down two or even three steps.

This system helps me decide what to rate a book.  I truly want to help others choose good reading material and give them my humble opinion on a book's content.
