This week I read three very different books, though all were enjoyable. When I rate these for my Energion.com Bookstore I use a scale from 1 to 5. This scale means:
- I didn’t finish reading it.
I’m such a determined reader that this only applies to two books that I can remember - I don’t plan to look at this author again
- Normal reading level; I liked it and will read this author again on occasion.
- I liked it, and will keep my eye open for this author’s work
- I truly adored it, and will read everything this author writes.
The majority of my reading falls into #3, so that rating should not be regarded as negative. A four is very good and a five is exceedingly rare.
[...] First on my list is a mystery by a new author (for me), Donna Andrews, titled Access Denied. This is one of a series, the Turing Hopper mysteries, featuring a sentient, or near sentient, artificial intelligence. I found the characters interesting, but not fascinating, and the artificial intelligence is an interesting concept, though I don’t think a great deal was done with it. I rate this book a 3 of 5 (My Book Ratings). [...]
[...] a four if you really like the Holmes style mysteries. It’s just that I’m locked into my ratings, and a three shows where books in this series and by this author will be in my list. Share and [...]
