I'm confused by the average stars notation, and am just wondering if someone can explain why The Fallen has an average not reflected by the actual ratings? It currently has 8 ratings, all of 5 stars, and the average is 4.5 stars.

Additionally, this book (Dragons In Pieces):

is listed as having 9 ratings and 11 reviews, when there are 10 of each (weird!), and the average star says 4.56, when it should be 4.6 by straight math.

Thanks for any help or redirects. :)

Because most things on GR take some time (caching)

Refreshed the stats for both.

Thanks. I'm glad it was just something dumb.

Unfortunately it happens with stats and reviews, updating pictures and lists. GR can take from 10 min to a couple of days to refresh the information.
