          <body><![CDATA[I don't really care for plot-driven books -- I like well-developed characters.  While the story was interesting, I didn't feel moved by any of the characters, which is a huge disappointment.  I see potential for more development throughout the series, but am not sure I want to continue it right now.<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/80747183">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I'm going to agree with Sandi here.  I would mostly use half stars at 3 1/2 or 4 1/2.  I already write them into my reviews.<br/><br/>And I do think it is more accurate unless, of course, we want a multi-tiered rating system (which i don't) that includes ratings for writing style, for how the book impacted your life...<br/><br/>I say half star.]]></body>
