I know this is a change that a lot of people have wanted for a long time. It never seemed that important to me (and certainly quarter stars are hard to parse), but I admit that I’ve thought it would be useful to have a 3½ star rating. Three stars is my baseline and there certainly have been many books which beat basic expectations but still didn’t rise to four stars. I’m going to try to avoid the temptation to use the ½ star to augment other levels.
I'd rather have x out of 10 stars instead of granular stars out of 5.
