Using Stars in Reviews: Yay or Nay?

december-3-2019

I’ve seen this discussion once or twice, and wanted to get my thoughts out on it.

Does using stars in reviews lessen the overall meaning behind it? Or does it simplify it in a way that people can understand your thoughts behind your reasoning better?

 

I thought the best way to do this post was using pros vs cons. I also thought it was worth mentioning that, if you’ve followed my blog at all, that I use stars in all of my reviews, except short stories. So I may be a little biased.

YAY STARS!!

Pros:

Cons:

NAY STARS??

Pros:

Cons:


Although it’s a personal decision, I use stars in my reviews because, even though people might skip the review because of the rating, I still think it does give an accurate idea as to what I liked and disliked.

What do you think? Do you use stars in your reviews, or do you skip the stars and write what you want?
