I find it difficult to assign a number value to very different books. For example, I may thoroughly enjoy a light hearted fiction read but not think it’s the highest quality I’ve ever read. So it may be a 5 for enjoyment, but a 3 for quality. Likewise, I may read a mentally demanding nonfiction. It may be a 5 for importance, and a 5 for research and effort, but it may have also been too long and dense and maybe I struggled to get through it for various reasons. It would be awesome to add it a bunch more categories for rating on the 0-5 at .25 scale to more accurately rate a novel. I think this would help me better connect with new books, too.

I'd be happy if those rating options were placed within an accordion container (or something similar) that's collapsed by default, because it would blow up the review form and I guess there will be people who don't need it (myself included). That way, we can chose to use them.
