Review Room

My rating system doesn't consist of giving between 1 and 5 stars, or thumbs up and thumbs down; instead, I decided I'll be awarding between 1 and 5 thumbprints:
1 = not good (but you won't see many of those because I hate wasting time on negativity)
2 = not bad (but one or two major flaws; I probably wouldn't recommend reading it)
3 = great book (some flaws but none major)
4 = very entertaining (missing a little something to make it 5)
5 = excellent (will become a classic on my list of all-time favourites)
