OUTSTANDING
BOOK
designates a
book that
deserves
special
mention beyond
a number
rating.
Most
times, this
designation will
be given some
time after after
the book has
been read and
reviewed rather
than when a
review is first
posted.
These are the
books that
deserve special
mention because
their impact is
so great that
these books move
us as
readers long
after the book
has been put
aside. The
award
OUTSTANDING
BOOK does not
necessarily
correspond to a
number rating
but generally
will be chosen
from books with
a 4-5
rating. A
book with minor
flaws
can still haunt
a reader in ways
a book more
perfectly
executed in its
genre may
not. This
special mention
will be rare,
not the
expected
norm.
