This thread is where we discuss the possible enhancement of our grading system. Sorry for possible inconsistencies - posts have been copied here from Round 2 threads. I tried to add clarifications, but may have missed something.

yes. It is because the system needs perfectioning. I will have to give It, my favorite King book ever (as it is yours) a B on "strength of plot", and I have already given same to The Stand. I really really do not think we love King for his plots (mainly nonexistent) or endings (often hated by most)
