I've gotten ticked off with some big name authors that don't say a thing on the covers of their "newest greatest" book. They just assume that you will buy it so you don't need to know what the book is about.
With new authors you will get to read at least a few pages of the book. Some will let you read the first half of the book. So after a few pages, or a chapter or 2, you should know if you want to buy it.
Sometimes, though, I become so embarrassed by the quality that I just can't say a word. But that happens within the first page or 2, at most.
All in all my biggest complaint is that some of them don't write enough.
