I am going to use Fastolfe's rating system as I believe it to be quite nice and graphically informative. The rating system is shown below.
 = the book is a turd, avoid at all costs
 = not sure what to make of it
 = okay book
 = good book, recommended
 = great book, highly recommended
 = reading in progress
Further, I am going to use a modification of wcherrybomb's method of detailing the books I've read.
On to the list...
Book #1

Review: Outstanding book! One of the best SciFi reads I've enjoyed in years. Mr. Flint is an excellent author and has a writing style that paints vivid mind pictures. I found myself drawn into the story and becoming one of the players. I highly recommend this book.

I'm loving Fastolfe's rating system, too. I hope you both don't mind, but I think I'll use it, too.
