Here me out, non-fiction can be tricky to rate bc a memoir/autobiography is someone’s real life story. A book on world events, it’s educational, how can I minimize the value of being informed on things that have taken place over the course of history. These are things that people lived through. And ofc there are the other niche topics.

I feel like I would be doing a great disservice to rate a non-fic book by how easy it was to follow along, or how interesting it was when it’s something sensitive like history or someone’s life.

How do you guys rate your non-fiction books?

    You rate the writing not the subject. A great writer can make any subject interesting and a poor one makes reading about the most fascinating thing unbearable.
