Review Ratings Guidelines


I will be rating Nancy Drew Books based on the below guidelines.
I have used some parameters to distinguish each book and its story and rate the book accordingly.
These ratings are given by me and based on my judgement.

Ratings will be given between 1 to 5 stars , 1 being the least and 5 being the best read.

More in detail:



1 Star : 

If a book is given this rating , then it means :
Storyline: was very boring

Characters: All characters don't play a vital role and left loosely around with no significance.
Imaginative: Story has lots of mistakes and facts gets wrong and mixed up , So it gets difficult to imagine.
Place: Story revolves around one place and the place itself not described enough which might have made the story interesting.
