It's always difficult to rate a group of short stories anyway, and more so in this case as I'm pretty sure there's a lot of depth I'm missing as a casual reader. I'm basing my rating just on my personal enjoyment, and rather than a long and comprehensive review, simply listing out which stories I did or didn't enjoy.

Loved or Really Liked:
Knights Tale
Man at Law's Tale

Mixed Feelings, Worth Reading:
Clerk's Tale
Summoner's Tale
Wife of Bath's Tale
Squire's Tale
Prioress's Tale
Melibius's Tale
Monk's Tale
Nun's Priest's Tale
Second Nun's Tale
Canon's Yeoman's Tale
Manciple's Tale
Parson's Tale

Meh:
Friar's Tale
Pardoner's Tale
Physician's Tale
Franklin's Tale
Sir Topas' Tale

Skipped or Wish I'd Skipped:
The Miller's Tale
The Reeve's Tale
The Cook's Tale
Merchant's Tale
Shipman's Tale
