Rating System

I break my rating down into four categories: cover, writing style, plot, and characters/character development. The overall score is a weighted average of the four scores, with the cover being worth 10% (since I totally judge books by their covers and they influence my decision to read the book in the first place, but they really don't indicate the quality of the book) and the other three categories worth 30% each. The overall score is also out of five.
