Welcome to Feature & Follow Friday, hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Thanks for stopping in today! I hope you'll stay awhile and get comfy.
This week's question:
Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?
I don't think I've ever bought one, but I've definitely read some. The most recent that I can remember is The Book of Blood and Shadow, by Robin Wasserman. I've read a couple where the reader absolutely hated the book (they weren't mean & nasty-very professional and laid out all the reasons nicely, in case you were wondering) and they did make me a little nervous, to be honest. BUT, they ended up increasing my desire to read the book. I've finished and LOVED it. My review actually posts tomorrow. It was one of the best books I've read this year.
A bad review never turns me off from a book. It makes me want to see what's up for myself.
How 'bout you?
