I have read other mixed reviews of it too. <br /><br />I think it is hard to rate books too. I don't include them on my blog reviews anymore but I do rate them on Goodreads. Sometimes I struggle with what to rate a book and I have a ton of books with 4 stars. That seems to be what I rate most of the books I read but I don't think that each 4 star book is equal to the others so I get where you are coming from on the whole rating thing. Sometimes it is very easy to give a book 5 stars but other times I feel like I have to compare it with other books I've read to see if it deserves that rating. Thanks for your review of Shut Out. Have you read the original play?Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.com
