A middle you can trust
Five is a good book. It is where the rating slider starts when you sit down to review, so you only move it when the book was better or worse than good.
Ends that mean something
One is the worst book you have ever read. Ten is the greatest. Because the ends are kept for the extremes, an eight or a nine means something.
Colour you can read at a glance
Ratings are shown on a ramp: muted reds for the low end, green through the middle, a brighter green towards nine and gold for a ten.

Works with the Spoiler Shield
Written once you have finished
You review a book when you have finished it, and you can mark the review if it gives away the story, so that the Spoiler Shield can protect readers who have not got there yet.
