  • My Regency Tea Cup Review Ratings

    • Five Regency tea cups: The book is not perfect (few books are), but it was well worth its purchase and possesses many outstanding qualities that makes it stand head and shoulders above its counterparts.
    • Four Regency tea cups: This book offered many hours of pleasant reading, and I found I could not put it down.
    • Three Regency tea cups: Damned with faint praise. I put the book down often, but was intrigued enough to finish it. In this instance, the movie might be better.
    • Two Regency tea cups: This book required major changes that the author and editor should have fixed before publishing deadline.
    • One Regency tea cup: Oh dear. I do so feel for the trees that sacrificed their lives for this verbal garbage.
