Q: Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?
No, I can't say that I have. Bad reviews don't really deter me from reading a book, but I've never gone out of my way to read something just because people didn't enjoy it.

I only let bad reviews deter me if they're all complaining about the same thing and that thing happens to be a deal breaker for me (ex. instalove, lack of research, etc.)
For certain books, like Fifty Shades of Grey, the negative reviews make me stay as far away from those books as possible. I don't think I would ever buy a book because a bunch of people didn't like it.

HAHA. I agree. But if I really feel like reading a particular book, the bad reviews don't stop me B)
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! Have a great weekend :)

Same here, I like to have my own opinion for a book.

I agree!
Thanks for following following you back :)
I'm the same. A bad review has never necessarily made me want to read a book more.

I agree with you.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I followed back.
They can deter me if it's a reviewer I know and trust. I don't understand the "reading because a bad review" thing. I want to read GOOD books!

Great answer! For me it depends on how well-written the review is and whether I respect that reviewer's opinion.

Thanks for stopping by and I'm following back.

That makes complete sense.
It really depends on the book as to whether I let bad reviews deter me from purchasing or not.

Oh wow, I love your blog!
I haven't purposedly bought a book because I want to prove that it's not bad, but I am curious to why people would say it's bad.
Sorry for the late FF reply! Thank you for stopping by my blog, I'm following you back :)
