    This post speaks to me!

    You can always make a few adjustments to open the system up. If you utilize color, boldface, or something similar to distinguish “pros” from “cons,” then you’ll be able to mix them without taking up too much space with extra labels. Visual appeal may or may not suffer, but you get to incorporate thoughts in a more natural order since some pros and cons may be closely related; and you’re freed from the obligation to end on a sour note.

    There’s also the option to have a variable number of points depending on how much you have to say about a work. Let your #4 and #7 above would cancel out. One book might get a 12/15, which is worse than the book that gets 6/7 in an obvioius sense if not necessarily in a true sense, and interesting comparisons can be drawn between books scored 5/10 vs. 10/20. Does generating more reactions overall say something about the quality of a book?

Please comment with your real name using good manners.
