It makes me want to buy the book right away. A bad review doesn't really stop me from buying a book that I want. In fact, it makes me curious.Heart of Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542152478039483575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18005725.post-218615754949013302008-01-18T22:27:00.000-05:002008-01-18T22:27:00.000-05:00I share your thoughts too, Judy.

I loved your analogy of a friend who recommends books, and you usually are the polar opposite. I have a neighbor that is completely like that. If she recommends a book to me, I usually go running in the opposite direction :)<BR/><BR/>Have a great day, and Happy Reading!!!Stacy at Exceedingly Mundanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193142015462051142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18005725.post-44210987787682283842008-01-17T15:00:00.000-05:002008-01-17T15:00:00.000-05:00Hi Judy... just letting you know that I'm lurking ...Hi Judy... just letting you know that I'm lurking around and reading you blog with much interest.Angryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167289893343393855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18005725.post-74025435889222857822008-01-17T14:30:00.000-05:002008-01-17T14:30:00.000-05:00I added books to my TBR pile from bad reviews beca...I added books to my TBR pile from bad reviews because the reviewers taste was so different from mine, that if they hated it I knew I would love it.chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257260052653346841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18005725.post-75923065690117424042008-01-17T14:26:00.000-05:002008-01-17T14:26:00.000-05:00For authors who have signed with mid-sized or smal...For authors who have signed with mid-sized or small publishers, reviews play another role in that they make portions of the reading public aware that the book exists. Of course, it's always great to get good reviews, but even lukewarm ones can help to create interest. From what I know of it, the Harry Potter phenomenon began with reviews.Jim Melvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109419832672177370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18005725.post-28635797063406133462008-01-17T11:33:00.000-05:002008-01-17T11:33:00.000-05:00One bad review isn't going to keep me from reading...One bad review isn't going to keep me from reading either.

Maybe someone is too young for the book and doesn't understand it. Or too old. Many things play a part.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984305420691237277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18005725.post-38990466815981054182008-01-17T11:06:00.000-05:002008-01-17T11:06:00.000-05:00Hi Judy!
