✨THE QUESTIONS✨
The Ratings and Reviews Tag created by Gunpowder, Fiction & Plot

1. Tag folks.
2. How do you know you’ve just finished a good book? Is it a thinking or a feeling response?
3. When you begin to form your review/rating - what is the first question you ask yourself?
4. Do you do star ratings? Why? Why not?
a. If YES
i. Explain your star rating system – what does a good book get in your rating system?
ii. Is your star rating consistent? ie. are all your 5 star books better than all your 4 star books?
b. If NO
i. What language do you use to convey the quality of a book in your reviews?
ii. Does this form an informal rating or ranking?
5. Do you believe every book has its perfect reader? Does this contradict the idea that a book can be “bad”?
6. What book that you hated have you recommended?
7. What makes a book good, bad or great by your evaluation?
8. When evaluating the quality of a book do you have specific criteria or aspects of the book, such as character development, that you consider? Does this change if you are writing an in-depth review vs. just thinking about the book for enjoyment?
9. Do you consider star ratings or ave. ratings when choosing books to read/add to your TBR?
10. Who on BookTube; does reliable and interesting reviews of books that you know you can use to decide if a book is for you or not. What makes their reviews so good?
11. Does that/those booktuber(s) use different language than you to evaluate and review the overall quality of a book?
