Over the last two years I can look back and my reading and there are at least 3 or 4 books that I rated about a 3.5 out of 5 (not a bad rating, but at the time wasn't a book that blew me away) and yet those stories have stuck with me in very unique ways, prompting me to re-evaluate my experience with them.Carl V.

I tend to let my mind roam a bit before I pen the review. Sometimes I find the review more objective after I have waited and allowed more time to reflect. As to my year-end favorites, I always pick the books that have stayed with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246220242273461143.post-58663707575578453292010-01-21T06:29:00.958+00:002010-01-21T06:29:00.958+00:00Interesting point.

When I look back it is the memory of that experience that I am likely to be judging by. Memory can be a funny thing.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246220242273461143.post-63823402133095877602010-01-18T05:46:30.973+00:002010-01-18T05:46:30.973+00:00What a sense of security in an old book which Time...What a sense of security in an old book which Time has criticised for us! <br /><br />James Russell LowellChris Pinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708761599738334451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246220242273461143.post-59949459669036778302010-01-17T05:19:26.178+00:002010-01-17T05:19:26.178+00:00Its amazing how a book I thought was great at the ...Its amazing how a book I thought was great at the time I read it can end up being somewhat forgettable when I look back months or maybe even years later.

I felt that when I read reviews with ratings, the number was the first thing I sought out and that if I found a review that didn't rate on a scale, I actually read the review much more closely. Also, like you pointed out, my ratings can fluctuate a few weeks, months, or years after I've read the book.A Bookshelf Monstrosityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674115889348650429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246220242273461143.post-42843104169138237882010-01-14T21:20:25.110+00:002010-01-14T21:20:25.110+00:00It definitely happened to me that post-reading a b...It definitely happened to me that post-reading a book, I change how I feel about a book. Without realising people change as time goes by, I haven't tried looking back at my reviews, but I will probably grimaced. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
