There are plugins to rate books, movies or any other products in self hosted WordPress blogs. You just have to install the plugin. But this isn't there for blogger. However don't freak out, we can add it as a third party gadget.
In blogger, we can install 5 star rating gadget/widget to rate blog post individually. 5 star rating gadget is some sort of readers' feedback gathering mechanism. When a reader sees the rating option just below your post, they just have to click any star to rate the post. Returning readers will be tempted to check out your blog post that has got maximum ratings.
