The article considers the effect of a starred review. Authors, publishers, bookstores, readers and the magazine itself all like and benefit from starred reviews, but few people are sure what they mean. Stars tend to confuse and conflate good as in "a good book" and good as in "a good buy" for a library or bookstore.
