I'm loling, because I occasionally try to figure this out too. ...And can't! I dunno, it's all very organic and emotional and contextual. This, for example, got an extra star I think because it did keep my mind occupied while I was in the hospital a few weeks before H was born, and that goes a ways. My philosophy -- such as it is -- is that I can put as many of my arbitrary feelings as I like into a review, but ideally I should contextualize them because that's what makes a review useful/interesting to other people. But ratings are a giant joke in most circumstances, so there I'm arbitrary as hell.

So yeah. I got nothing.
