The book reviews published in this blog have all been written for the purpose of my own amusement. I do not get paid to do them and hence bare no allegiance to any publishing houses. If the book that I have read has been sent to me as a reviewing copy, I will mention it in the text. I also try to keep my book reviews spoiler-free in order not to spoil anyone’s reading experience. The scale of my rating is similar to Goodreads:
1/5 – I didn’t like it at all.
2/5 – It was OK, but with a lot of problems.
3/5 – I liked it; it was entertaining.
4/5 – I really liked it; it had interesting plot and characters. All in all a very good book.
5/5 – It was amazing, became one of my favourite books.
