Personally, a 5 star is reserved for the best books I will ever read. There should be no question in your mind "is this a 4 star or a 5 star?". You KNOW it's a 5 star. You would give it 6 if you could.
So 4 stars for me are still incredible books, just not in the best books of all time category. I've read 18 books this year so far and only have one 5 star. But lots of fantastic 4 stars.
