I use a standard grading system (A+ being the best, F being the worst) in regard to how much I enjoyed reading the book and how high my interest level was while reading. It is in no way a scholastic or academic evaluation of the work. Although if the book does merit that sort of attention, I will often state that in the review.
I focus on character development, plot, story line, pacing, writing style, interest level and my personal thoughts on the book. I also strive to construct a literary analysis of the book as far as I am able. I seldom comment on the cover art as that is not chosen by the author and has little to do with the book.
Not all of my reviews are positive, and if not, I try to focus as specifically as I can on the reason(s) why I did not enjoy the book. I do this with the utmost respect to the authors, as I believe an honest opinion with constructive criticisms is in the best interest of all parties.
