REVISED book rating system
5/5 = Sublime. I would have this book's children.
4/5 = Above average. A wonderful read that I would be certain to revisit in the future.
3/5 = Good. It was enjoyable while it lasted but ultimately forgettable.
2/5 = Okay. Not a wall-banger but lacking that quality that would shoot it into "good" territory.
1/5 = Made me rethink my anti- stance on book burning.

REVISED film rating system
5/5 = Sublime. A personal favorite.
4/5 = Above average. Superb! I enjoyed myself thoroughly and will want to own the DVD.
3/5 = Good. It was enjoyable while it lasted but ultimately forgettable.
2/5 = Okay. It killed time. I didn't absolutely hate it. We can safely say it mostly sucked, though.
1/5 = Crap. Hideous unholy spawn of Uwe Boll and Hitler. Horrible and perhaps traumatizing.
