Welcome! - The rating scale defined

 Welcome to the Curmudgeon's Corner Book reviews.

This scale started as a joke, but seemed to gain some kind of legitimacy, which is a never-ending source of bemusement to me, but after many many weeks of being bugged about it, I started this blog to aggregate my ratings.

I read a lot of books on Kindle Unlimited, so most of these books will be available through KU.

Now hopefully if I give a book a poor rating I don't get an author being butt-hurt in the comments, but his rating is just my opinion and if you write a book and I don't like it just means I don't like it.  Doesn't make it bad, just not to my taste.  So man up and accept that people are different.

Oh yeah, and I am probably not going to be terribly PC, so there's that.  You have been warned.


Curmudgeon scale

·       1 star:  Caused me physical pain, and possibly injury.  Did not finish.  Will avoid further works by the author.  Proceed with extreme caution, and possibly liberal alcohol. 

·       2 star:  Did not cause me physical pain, but still did not finish.  Probably won’t give the author another chance.

·       3 star:  Finished, but question whether or not that was wise.  May or may not give the author another chance.  Reading the sequel is 50/50 

·       4 star:  Finished it.  Decent.  Will probably read the sequel 

·       5 star:  Finished, enjoyed it thoroughly.   Highly recommended. 

·       5+ star:  Rare rating where the book rates at the top of the 5 scale  If you don't read this you probably hate fun.
