Ratings: Sometimes I'll have ratings next to individual books. ***** -- A must read. /Excellent!!! **** -- A good read. /Good enough! *** -- Not so good, but almost there. /OK. ** -- May be amusing for some. /Unsatisfactory * -- not worth it. /:( Other ratings (color coded): * -- not for young children or people under the age of, uh, 15, because of inappropriate or heavy material. * -- not recommended for younger readers because of higher reading level. * -- as most books here are for people over 9-10, this star is for books that are for people under that age.
