I rely more on reviews when purchasing electronics.

oh yeah, the good covers tempt me too. the author i'm referring to in my first post has one of the best covers around; but i don't want to run into bad grammar again (which i've experienced from the author and a few others have expressed). unfortunately, the majority don't seem to think so. i'm so puzzled! maybe i should try again?
