I also gave TKaM a 3-star rating. So what?
Though GR gives a suggestion as to what a star rating means, there has been extensive discussion over there about how everyone uses them individually/differently/idiosyncratically anyway.
Maybe he's only rating books he likes and wants recommendations for and *his* 1-star is a basic "liked it," 3-star is "a really excellent book," and 5-star is reserved for ">SQUEE!< OMG this book is the Mary Poppins of books--practically perfect in every way; not a word or piece of punctuation out of place or dispensable. It changed my own life in nearly inexpressible transportive ways!!!"
Why this is newsworthy, other than it is the celebrity version of the stupidity that has gone on over ratings at Goodreads (and ratings inflation, sockpuppetting, bullying, counter-bullying, harrassment, etc) for some time, is beyond me.
