Corrections/Addendums

As I fell asleep at 3 AM last night, I decided that I am still unhappy with my criteria.

Here are some proposed changes.

So here is my final evaluation criteria:
--

Ease with which to read/enjoyable author style (5)

Suitable ending (5)

Personal favoritism (5)

Poetic language (5)

Memorable (5)

Original, creative plot (5)

Original, well-developed characters (5)

Probability of recommendation (5)

Ability to "move" emotionally (5)

Literary value and/or educational value (5)

____

(50)

+ 4 sentence summary

I think I'll leave it at that for now.

Of course, the assumption is that there is no "0", the scale is simply 1-5. A book may receive a rating of 5 with the confidence that it is utmost perfect in that category, and a rating of 1 if it is abominably wretched. The lowest score a book can get is a "1" all around.

I'd like to take this time to point out that sometimes I don't always like the classic books, and I tend to favor light-hearted, girlish tales. I'm not saying the classics don't have literary value or aren't worth reading. But as far as Lori-enjoyability, this is my scale.
