Ratings are on a scale of 0 to 24. The scale works as follows:
PRO 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 |
pro 15 14 13 12 11 10 |
mixed 9 8 7 6 5 4 |
con 3 2 1 |
CON 0 |
An asymmetrical 0 to 24 scale may not be intuitive, I realize.
But as a rule of thumb: a double-digit score means I liked it, while a
single-digit score... less so. Also, as you might expect, scores from
many years ago may not be very reliable, so do check the dates.
