I find myself trusting fellow book buddies' reviews more than the others. :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-49916084462727655462008-08-14T09:08:00.000+08:002008-08-14T09:08:00.000+08:00I love reading book reviews too but I definitely r...I love reading book reviews too but I definitely rely more on my book buddies nowadays. <BR/>And, like you, even if a book has gotten negative reviews if it's still something I think I would like then I'll give it a go.

Blurbs are great teasers, but sometimes I find some stories do not sound as great as them. <BR/><BR/>Julia - I'm with you here. ;)<BR/><BR/>Farrah - I enjoy reading other readers' reviews because each one has his opinion and reasons and I'm always interested to read them. :)<BR/><BR/>Wendy - I share your thoughts. If a book doesn't interest me in the first place, I won't pick it up despite it has received good reviews.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-48992846598343771902008-08-13T09:50:00.000+08:002008-08-13T09:50:00.000+08:00Nowadays, I often come across books via reviews be...Nowadays, I often come across books via reviews before I ever lays on a book and so I do read reviews often. Mostly, I read the reviews of other bloggers or take recommendations from friends. I can't say a review has ever stopped me from reading a book--at least not outright. If it did, it was probably because I was leaning against reading the book in the first place. If I really want to read a book, I will, regardless of the review.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-66453045043382754352008-08-13T09:17:00.000+08:002008-08-13T09:17:00.000+08:00I agree!

Our reviews ARE our OPINIONS anyhow and just give others an idea of what they might expect should they decide to pick up the book.<BR/><BR/>Farrah from The Book Faery Reviews (www.tbfreviews.wordpress.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-92169908196212869562008-08-13T01:32:00.000+08:002008-08-13T01:32:00.000+08:00I always say to people, don't judge the book until...I always say to people, don't judge the book until you read it.
