This week’s question: Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?
The only book I can think of that I did this with is Hush, Hush. I got it at an awkward time and still haven’t read it, but I’d heard either glowing things, or that the writing was bad and Patch was abusive. At the same time I got it, I was reading Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey that resulted in this rant about abusive relationships in YA books, so I never ended up reading Hush, Hush because I was so disgusted and didn’t want to go through that again so soon. (And maybe that isn’t in there. I still don’t know how I feel about it because I haven’t read it. :P) Personally, bad reviews have never affected me, unless there were a lot of them. I know that some people just don’t like things, and other people love them!
