Kaedrin Books

Have you ever thought about masterminding a bank robbery? Perhaps a train heist? That is just the sort of socially unacceptable activity someone like me would be involved in if it weren't for reading. Check out some of the books that have staved off my insanity.

The Rating System:
Each book is rated in three different categories: Overall, Readability, and Intelligence. Each category is strictly independant, meaning a book with high ratings in one category doesn't necessarily imply high ratings in the other categories.

Overall: This is what I consider to be the overall value of the book. This is probably the most useful rating if you are trying to find a good book.

Readability: This is based on how easy the book is to read. It takes into account the style, vocabulary, plot and even intangible aspects of the book.

Intelligence: This shows how relevant the book's themes are. A book with a very high intelligence is usually harder to read.
