Appearance: 5
The appearance of a book can make a significant impact on the experience of a reader, whose enjoyment is often enhanced by an enticing cover, an intriguing table of contents, interesting chapter headings, and when possible, eye-catching illustrations.

Plot: 5
The characters of a book should be well defined with strengths and flaws, and while they do not have to be likable, the reader does have to be able to form a connection with them. The tone should be consistent, the theme should be clear, and the plot should be original or told from a unique perspective. For informative books -- those without plot and characters--this rating refers primarily to your concept and how well you presented it.

Development: 5
Development refers to how effectively you told your story or discussed your topic. The dialogue should be realistic, the descriptions should be vivid, and the material should be concise and coherent. Organization is also a key factor, especially for informative books -- those without plot and characters. The order in which you tell your story or explain your topic and how smoothly it flows can have a huge impact on the reader's understanding and enjoyment of the material.

Formatting: 5
Formatting is the single most overlooked area by authors. The way in which you describe scenes, display dialogue, and shift point of view can make or break your story. In addition, excessive grammatical errors and typos can give your book an amateurish feel and even put off readers completely.

Marketability: 5
Marketability refers to how effectively you wrote your book for your target audience. Authors may include content that is above or below the understanding of their target reader, or include concepts, opinions or language that can accidentally confuse or alienate some readers. Although by its nature this rating is very subjective, a very low rating here and poor reviews may indicate an issue with your book in this area.

Overall Opinion: 5
The overall starred rating takes into account all these elements and describes the overall reading experience of your reviewer. This is the official Readers' Favorite review rating for your book.

Radio Free Olympia is a work of fiction penned in a literary style that explores the cultural, social, and ecological subgenres. It is best suited to the general adult reading audience. Penned by author Jeffrey Dunn, this novel follows a small cast of characters from the same place, exploring and celebrating the wild splendor of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. As a missing infant rallies a roadhouse full of displaced women into action, a pirate radio station broadcasts from deep in the mountain rainforest. What results is a beautiful snapshot of a place seemingly frozen in time, but one that will come under threat from the modern world if those who love it don’t stand up to protect it.

Author Jeffrey Dunn has crafted a novel unlike anything else that I’ve read this year, and I found myself absolutely falling in love with the Peninsula and its wild, untamed beauty as I devoured this multisensory feast of a story. The craftsmanship in the wordplay and scene setting is second to none, offering not only a cinematic vision of this little microcosm of paradise but a real sense of how the ecology, culture, and attitude of the place come together to form their own personality. This is imbued into each of the central characters and adds a new layer of spirit to their personal quests for freedom, belonging, and justice, making you all the more inclined to root for the success of the community as a whole.
Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Radio Free Olympia to fans of highly original and beautifully penned literary fiction.
