Yeah, I think I'd say similar.

5 stars - absolutely adored it. Was interesting, fascinating and educational. Would re-read and recommend to others.

4 stars - loved it. Was interesting or educational. Wouldn't re-read but would recommend to others.

3 stars - relatively enjoyed it. A decent, pleasurable read but nothing that stood out. Wouldn't re-read and probably wouldn't recommend to others.

2 stars - didn't enjoy it. Was boring, too flawed or unmemorable. Barely had any redeemable qualities and I'm glad to finish it. Wouldn't re-read or recommend to others.

1 stars - hated it. A book that I not only didn't enjoy, but actively hated and the reading experience was ruined for me.

I tend to not have too many 1s as I'll just quit while I'm ahead but sometimes required reading for my uni course ends up in this category. Additionally, hating a book doesn't necessarily mean it has no value - I really didn't enjoy Paradise Lost because I thought it was way too long, hard to understand and I didn't enjoy the subject material, but my seminar had some interesting discussions about religious doctrine, the sexism against Eve and whether Satan was a villain or a hero.

I remember really liking it, I think I gave it 4/5 stars! The only reason it wasn't a 5 is because I'm not a big horror fan so it didn't blow me away, but even so it was incredibly enjoyable. I loved the way the author made the ocean so unsettling and dangerous. I have no fear of water but this made me hesitate to go swimming again.

I'd recommend renting from your library, then if you really like a book you can buy it and annotate it. I do this myself and it has a lot of benefits - if I know I'm going to love and annotate a book I'm looking to buy, I'll spend more time looking for a nice edition, maybe even splurge if I can afford it. Can't do that with books I know nothing about, it'd be a waste of money if I didn't end up liking it.
