(I give five stars to books thatmake me think "that was so good, I want to read it again in a week"; one star is for books that put me off so that I did not finish them.)

Why limit yourself? The entire universe is at your disposal with every possible review. I don't like numbers in my review systems. As a sign post, the numbers describing the content contained within in the review, they can be helpful. And for content that is rapidly consumed i.e. games/apps numbers can take the place of critical reviews entirely and in many places have. But books are something special.
The problem is that your definition of one star is unique to you.
