There was a Reader's Digest Moby-Dick. But looking at it, it was not 'condensed'.

I have more trouble the other way. If I give a book 5 then I will forever wonder how someone else might give it a 1. 3 would account for different tastes, 2 if the person found the book truly annoying, but 1? And then I remind myself that other people not only have different taste, they also use different scoring rules.

I just assume such differences come down to different count of brain cells, with mine being higher of course
