★★★☆☆ Liked it

Nonfiction: Contributes to existing narrative with engaging reporting and/or thoughtful representations. Well-paced and thoughtprovoking.
★★☆☆☆ Hit and miss
Fiction: Not my cup of tea. Plot, characters, and/or themes are undeveloped or clichéd.
Nonfiction: Doesn’t contribute to existing narrative in meaningful way. Offers only a shallow perspective.
★☆☆☆☆ Disliked it
Fiction: Lacked literary value. Underdeveloped, clichéd, or lacked vision. Marginalised groups represented in an archetypal, insensitive, and poorly researched way.
Nonfiction: Obscures existing narrative with uneducated/uncompassionate perspective. Inaccurate representations cause more harm than good.
