For me, a three star book is competently written, maybe more workmanlike than artistic, but potentially enjoyable for other reasons. Or it could be very well written book that's not particularly enjoyable either because it wasn't the right time for me to read it, or maybe it could never be the right book for me under any circumstances, but I still recognize something worthy in it. A bad book is two stars or less, in theory, though I've never actually rated a book one star, maybe because I don't ever choose to read a book I'd rate that low.StephLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888019478250380270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-61315960891940774922019-01-06T17:57:37.512-08:002019-01-06T17:57:37.512-08:00The Infinity Ring series hasn’t seemed to have tak...The Infinity Ring series hasn’t seemed to have taken off in my school library. I haven’t read it so I can’t say why but I’ve only managed to convince a few kids to give it a try and I don’t think many of them read the whole series. <br /><br />Question about what your feelings are for a three star...this was a debate at my book club recently. A few people said a 3 star rating means they would never read it or recommend it, but to me a 3 star means it’s ok, just not amazing.
