My Book Ratings

It's been a while since I've talked about my personal book rating system. For those who are interested, this is my scale:

5 stars - LOVED it. Will read again.
4 stars - great book
3 stars - it was alright
2 stars - finished it but didn't like it
1 star - DNF

How do you rate the books you read?
