book ratings
Literary quality assessments
Book ratings are numerical or symbolic assessments of a book's quality or appeal, typically given by readers on a scale—often one to five stars.
Sites like Goodreads and Amazon aggregate these ratings to help potential readers gauge general reception: The novel has a 4.2 rating from over ten thousand reviews.
Ratings differ from reviews in being quantitative rather than descriptive, though the two often appear together.
