To me, it means that the book is perfect. Not only is there nothing wrong with it, it is wildly engaging and is one of my favorite books I've ever read. It's a book I am likely to reread over and over again.

I'm seeing a lot of reviews on here with 5 stars, but there's almost always a "but...", and then they say something about how that inconsequential thing they didn't like isn't enough to downgrade the rating. So I'm wondering what everyone thinks of their own 5 star reviews?

To me 5 stars is “this book is perfect from a storytelling and technical stand point.” So sometimes a book is a 5/5 to me but I still disagree with a plot point or how a character handled something. Typically is also a book I would be willing reread and one that I keep coming back too and thinking on.


Sometimes a story truly is perfect I just don’t love something about it but as I’ve learned from reviewing here, I can’t let that affect the rating

To me, a five star review means the book is really a hot cake and the plot is captivating

To me, a 5-star rating for a book means that that book is captivating, has a great storyline, is believable, and has little or no serious grammar/spelling errors.

A five star review to me means that the book has all the features i want, suspense, action and a little bit of intimacy.

On my goodreads: It means that I loved the book. It delighted me. Even if it wasn't perfect.
In an OBC review: It hit all the technical criteria and I enjoyed the book. It was well written.
