Critics, Ratings, and Society: The Sociology of Reviews | Grant Blank
6 posts
Critics, Ratings, and Society is the first comprehensive study of the review as social institution. Its theories and data encompass reviews of all types of products including the arts (e.g. theater, books, and music) and consumer products (e.g. cars, software, and appliances). According to Blank, the core problem of reviews is credibility. Concerns about credibility organize the formulation of reviews and audiences. The connoisseurial-procedural distinction describes the production of credibility and its assessment under different types of rating systems."

Excellent idea @Chrissyreadit ! Here's my rating system - 1 star is pan, 2 & 3 stars are so-so and 4 & 5 stars are picks.

KatieDid927 Mine is pretty much identical to yours. 5y

How I Rate Books

5 of 5 stars = It was amazing
4 of 5 stars = I really liked it
3 of 5 stars = I liked it
2 of 5 stars = It was ok
1 of 5 stars = I didn't like it

DNF = Did not finish

InBooksILive My rating is the same! 😊 5y
suvata @InBooksILive I think it‘s from Goodreads 5y

BestDogDad Same with me. It drives me nuts when I read a review on Goodreads in which the reader says they hated the book and then gives it a two or even three star rating. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Pamwurtzler Thanks for trying! Hopefully the send will work soon. It might take a few days or more until we see our reviews. Just FYI. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheLibrarian Awesome! 🙌🏻❤️💙💛🙌🏻 6y
Jess7 Maybe try copying and pasting your review into a note or text message on your phone so you don‘t have to retype it if it starts working later @Pamwurtzler 🤗🤗 6y
Pamwurtzler @Jess7 ha good idea. I‘ve typed it so many times my phone is staring to predict the whole thing. 😂 6y
Ingerella @Pamwurtzler That made me laugh! 😂 6y
Jess7 That‘s hilarious! @Pamwurtzler ! I‘m going to 😂 if all 100 reviews you just typed post tomorrow! 🤗 6y
Jess7 If I had to type it up 10 plus times - I feel like it would eventually get shorted to #awesome #getlitsy and that would be it. Lol @Pamwurtzler - you‘re a trooper! 6y
Pamwurtzler @jess7 @Ingerella It‘s entirely possible that my 100 ratings will bring the app ranking up all by themselves! 😂😂😂 6y
Jess7 Hahaha right?!!! Or you will be kicked off the App Store bc it identifies you as a spam account.. you know it could go either way!! Jk!! 🤓😂🤗 @Pamwurtzler 6y
RaimeyGallant Awesome. :) I did this yesterday. 6y

Check out @BarbaraTheBibliophage ‘s original post...Litsy could use our help in the ratings department! We all know what an awesome, friendly, family-like atmosphere this is, so if you have a couple seconds, go review give an honest review of Litsy on the AppStore or GooglePlay. (I never thought to review it before this! 🤦🏻‍♀️) #rateLitsy #reviewLitsy

@BarbaraTheBibliophage has been active in the litsy/LT discussion on Facebook and in response to @TimSpalding ‘s post about Litsy‘s stats, she saw @Litsy ranked pretty far down in the list of book apps in the AppStore with only a small number of reviews/ratings. We have a lot more than 100 or so active Littens so to help the app‘s stats, she is requesting we provide an honest rating/review in the AppStore or google play! #RateLitsy #ReviewLitsy

Insightsintobooks I did on google play. 6y
