Q: Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?
---------------------------------
No, I can honestly say Ive never read or bought a book just because of a bad review! I go more towards great covers and great reviews! If there is not a review available it has to have a great synopsis.

Dont forget to leave me your FF links!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!
Happy Easter!!!
I'm beginning to think I'm just a sucker for punishment -- when so many people talk about how AWFUL a book is, I just HAVE to read it and see if it's really all that horrid or if people are just being silly :P

I'm always unusually drawn to the bad reviews, and more often than not, I am actually pleasantly surprised! Maybe I have really bad taste lol

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by our blog! If a friend or trusted reviewer hate a book, then i stay away from it. If it's a random bad review, especially a personal one, then it gets me interested in the book.

I am the same way.Covers always draw me first. Then I read the synopsis, then the reviews. If the synopsis grabs me though, I don't worry about reviews. thanks for stopping by. Old follower GFC, new on twitter and facebook.

Great answer! I'm a new follower :)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same - though, if a book has mixed reviews but a compelling premise, I'll probably borrow it first. If I like it, I'll buy it. If not, I'll buy something else. It works out in the end :).

New FB Fan! Hmm.. I often read books because of negative reviews, to be honest. Tastes differ and a good review always includes reasons as to why the reviewer did not enjoy the novel, so.. *g*

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteNew follower, nice to meet you. I would not intentionally buy a book because of a bad review, but I have read book with bad review and loved them. For me it is based on the book and the author.

Heya Valerie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and following. I think I stalked you all over the place.. :D It's great to meet you.
I love book covers and have to admit I'm attracted to a book by the mere sight of a beautiful one. As much as reviews are important, bad reviews don't stop me from reading a book.
