    <about><![CDATA[My rating system:<br/><br/>1 star  - Violently Hated It<br/>2 stars - Didn't Like It / It Was Okay<br/>3 stars - Enjoyable<br/>4 stars - Liked It Alot<br/>5 stars - Loved It<br/><br/>I realize that this leaves my 2 star rating with a pretty wide range, but apparently I need at least 6 stars to express my literary opinions.  Does no one else violently hate some books?  <br/><br/>I wish more people would write reviews rather than just rate books.  That is boring.]]></about>
