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.
