I see what you are getting at, but then surely your are just using a 4 star rating system, as nothing will ever reach a 5? I think a recalibration of your rating system may be in order .

My 8 are:

Life After Life, by Kate Atkinson
Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov
Stein on Writing, by Sol Stein
Kindred, by Octavia E. Butler
Pines (Wayward Pines #1), by Blake Crouch
Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Never Go Back (Jack Reacher, #18), by Lee Child
The Third Bullet (Bob Lee Swagger, #8), by Stephen Hunter
