iBooks - cannot rate purchased books - error code is null_explanation

As above really, very pleased with iBooks app, bought a couple of books, read one, wrote a review and gave it some stars but when I sent the review, I got an error saying null_explanation. Left it a couple of days to see, the review still had not appeared (there are no reviews for that book). My review is still there on the iPhone, but has not been posted. Don't think its ever left my iphone.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION!!!!
I have been having many apps acting up.
Finally figured out what is was on one and this has been the solution for the others as well....including the null_explanation error.
I had recently turned off location services to some apps thinking that would be good for my battery. That was the cause of my issues.
TURN ON LOCATION SERVICE FOR THE "Store" App.
Then try again.
Hope his helps!!

Same thing here in trying to rate an app on iPhone. Out of the blue started getting the null_explanation error. Only way to fix it for me was like you someone else mentioned...I had to chain me rating from 5 to 4 stars. Go figure that one!! The first app I really like and feel deserves a full 5 stars, and it won't accept it! Hmmmm....
