Obviously, I don't think the book is nearly as bad as some here do. I have some reservations, but even on sober reflection, it's a personal 4 stars, because on balance, I'm actively glad I read it. My rating system:
1 Star -- Gag a maggot, get this out of my sight and off my Calibre! Horrible
2 Star -- I actively wish I hadn't read it, or had abandoned it earlier
3 Star -- OK. I enjoyed it, don't resent reading it, but not inspired to read more or again
4 Star -- Good. Actively glad I read it. Will probably read more if a series.
5 Star -- Love it. Will read more in series, will likely want to re-read this one at some point.

I would have tried harder to avoid the discussion for a work of fiction, but for nonfiction, it matters less. It's not like there's going to be some twist or surprise at the end.
