THINGS TO NOTE

Don't be afraid to give a book a low score if you didn't enjoy it. Everyone has different tastes in books. 

Just because a book is a classic or won awards doesn't mean you have to love it.

 It's okay to not finish a book if you're not enjoying it. There are so many great books out there, don't waste your time on ones you don't like. 

Just tell me the book you're not enjoying and I'll see if another judge would be willing to take it.
