How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this book against every other book those same people reviewed. Each rating is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline, so a reader who gives everything five stars is measured against their own five-star habit rather than against a stranger's. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
