Is there any form for evaluating books?

Well, is there any form for evaluating e-books? Or books in general..

I've come across a few books once in a while that I just don't like as much as I thought I would. I'm sure you all have had that experience at some point

It's usually books where I feel the concept and storyline is interesting but something with the way it's written down just takes the joy out of reading. And I can't put my finger on what it is, which annoys me greatly

I'm just thinking that a form or text about evaluating fictional text and use of language could help me understand and put words on what it is in a certain book that I don't like. Maybe even get over it enough to enjoy the parts of the story-line that I do find interesting...

I've realized that one of my issues is that I don't like reading stories in present tense. I prefer past tense.. but perhaps I can get used to it. I've enjoyed some stories written in present tense, so I don't think that's the only thing that puts me off some other books...

Do you know any text that could help me putting words on my reading experience?
What's important for you when you read a fictional book?
