# Voting Statistics

Since December 1997, Raja has asked members who have completed the book to rate it on a 10-point scale. (One means the book was terrible, 10 means it was really great.)

As of March 2001, the voting rules have been changed slightly to allow each person to cast a single "11" vote. See the voting rules for details.

Here are the results so far, in order of decreasing averages:
