I thought I might change the rating system for this particular, to make it more appropriate for a memoir.  There's no actual story to rate; it's their life, the way it happened.  no villain (unless you count Life as a villain), there's no conflict between the hero and th villain (again, Life vs. You is a hell of a fight, don't you think?), there are no characters to "develop and there is no plot.  The book of life is already written, and you have no freaking idea what comes next.  So I'll skip the "Story" part of the rating.
