I have a sometimes-used ratings system, inspired by Anastasia at Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog, which is as follows:

Rating: = Loved it!
Rating: = Liked it a lot.
Rating: = I’m glad I read it, but I probably won’t reread it.
Rating: = Mostly bad, but had some merit.
Rating: = Not very good, I didn’t enjoy it much.
Rating: = Did not finish, or so bad I had nothing nice to say about it.
