I was just curious as to what each number in the 1-5 system that Lush uses means to you? For example this is what I feel the numbers are:

5: Fantastic, some combination of superb writing, making me have an emotional response, or just a story that I know I will stick with me. Personally I give out very few 5s.

4: Good, enjoyable read that was well written, but it likely wont stay with me much past a few days. Typically a story will get a four if I enjoyed it, unless it really went beyond expectations.

3: Alright, it wasn't anything special, probably didn't really draw me in or sell the events. Or the events happening were so unrealistic I had a hard time suspending disbelief.

2: Pretty bad, either it had bad writing or the story just couldn't stand up under its own weight. I probably only got part way through.

1: Just awful, either the writing or the story were so bad that I couldn't get past much more than the premise.


I'm really curious as to how you folks feel about each number, so please illuminate me smile.

I believe the 1-5 thingy, is just what it is...a popularity contest. What if Shakespeare was given only a 1. Would it really make a difference?

Who cares about the meaning. In the words of the late, great Kurt Vonnegut, "Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a poem or story (novel) is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae."
