Thanks for the advice, Gideon. I've got a system worked out that fits my own habits. I did include ratings, before reading your post, but once again, thanks for the advice. And, I'm not really the kind of person who gives everyone a gold star. If I dislike something, I'm not afraid to say so. Though, I did try to steer away from centering my review around my opinion. I tried to write my review from a third-party perspective, basing my final rating on the quality of the material. I also individual categories, like "Characters", and so forth.
