I don't find they make me not want to read a book I'm dying to get my hands on, nor do they change my mind about a series I didn't enjoy, although they can push me off the fence if I'm umm-ing and aah-ing about whether to chance a random book.MikaylaGrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710084738288925021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625112725976763704.post-73906022766127100992017-04-18T16:08:17.221-05:002017-04-18T16:08:17.221-05:00I read bad reviews and good reviews but I usually ...I read bad reviews and good reviews but I usually find myself reading the bad ones more.

I mainly use them to scout for things I know I generally really dislike, to determine whether I should bother giving a book a shot or not!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625112725976763704.post-83461074458064761462017-04-17T10:49:15.571-05:002017-04-17T10:49:15.571-05:00If I definitely plan to read a book, I avoid all r...If I definitely plan to read a book, I avoid all reviews of the big until I'm done. Unless I DNR a book; I'll read a sampling of reviews first to see if there might be something coming up that makes the book worth finishing. If it is a book I just 'might' read, I'll read a sampling of reviews, both good and bad, to help me decide if the book is for me. I do the same after I've made a rough draft of my review, to see if there are any triggers reminding me of something I meant to say in my review, but forgot.Kim@Time2Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584489744366874728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625112725976763704.post-58394202575359024872017-04-16T08:33:10.991-05:002017-04-16T08:33:10.991-05:00I always read bad reviews.

But I like reading bad reviews of books I'm interested because I want to see why the reviewer didn't like it. Maybe it's something that won't bother to me.Gaby Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756306198200545251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625112725976763704.post-10061032882067771052017-04-15T22:18:02.072-05:002017-04-15T22:18:02.072-05:00I try not to read negative reviews too close to wh...I try not to read negative reviews too close to when I'm planning to read a book, but when I'm trying to decide whether or not to read something, I definitely read them!<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a>Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625112725976763704.post-20740699591745986902017-04-15T17:58:00.648-05:002017-04-15T17:58:00.648-05:00I'll read bad reviews - sometimes I thought th...I'll read bad reviews - sometimes I thought the book was bad too and want to see what other people's critiques were, and more often than not, I just want to see both sides.<br /><br />Tanya Patrice<br /><a href="http://girlxoxo.com" rel="nofollow">Girlxoxo.com</a>TPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589001490828032365noreply@blogger.com
