Q: Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?
A: I can't say that I have. I've gotten books for review that have had bad reviews, and I have enjoyed them. But I have yet to buy one because of a bad rep.

Q: Book Series Finales: Which book, from any series has been your favorite ending? What about your least favorite ending?
A: For my favourite, I have to go back to the books that reignited my love for reading. The Twilight Saga. A lot of people I talk to didn't like Breaking Dawn but really loved it, and I loved how the book ended!
As for my least favourite series ending, I'll have to say The Vampire Diaries. Loved the books, just wasn't a fan of the ending. I won't go into details because I don't want to ruin anything for people who have yet to read it :)
What about you?
I agree with you. I received books but I've enjoyed some even though others haven't. :)

Thanks!
I still haven't finished the VA series, because the books sort of.. got worse and worse for me. BUT I also read them in German and somehow the translations always seem worse than the originals. oô

it's quite the same thing for me for the bad reviews. It's not the reason why I buy a book.

ReplyDeleteMy Answer: No, Reviews matter a lot to me. Not unless the book became controversial that I would really feel the need to read that book.

I loved the Braking Dawn too. To me it's the best of all 4 books. There was so much happening, the action was interesting and the ending was epic.
