“vs. Goodreads” halves our 10-point rating onto their 5-point scale. Negative means we were the tougher crowd.

The book vs. the conversation

A mediocre book can still make a great night. The number on the right is how much better the conversation scored than the book itself. Note the axis is zoomed to the ratings actually given, not the full 0–10.

Who reads like who

Correlation between each pair's ratings, over the books both of you rated. Blue means your ratings move together; red means one of you tends to like what the other doesn't. Only the lower half is drawn — the mirror image would say the same thing twice.
