    <about><![CDATA[1 star - Disliked it so much that I had to stop reading it. Not a book I would recommend for someone to go through the same pain. I don't think I would consider anything else from this author and may cringe if someone asks me about the book or the author.<br/><br/>2 stars - Made it through it, somewhat painful, and would not recommend someone else to read. If I was bored, had nothing else to do and a book by the same author was the only think in the room, I would give the author a second chance.<br/><br/>3 stars - Nicely written, useful and enjoyed. A book I would recommend to someone else but would not re-read it, maybe keep through for reference though or willing to swap. Would consider other works from the author.<br/><br/>4 stars - Thoroughly enjoyed the book and would consider other books by the author. Would probably re-read the book in the future. <br/><br/>5 stars -  I won't be parting with this book and plan on re-reading on a rainy day. I think I have probably told everyone about this book and can't wait for the author to come out with something new. ]]></about>
