As a writer and reader, I check out the cover, but this is really a matter of taste, what one might like another might not. That's why I don't rely on reviews, as friends review the book, or enemies, whatever And it's only one person's opinion. If a book is recommended to me, I check it out, doesn't mean I'll buy it. I like to read the blurbs and the firs page of the book. If I like their style of writing, I might buy the book. A little humor can go a long way too. There's no way of really knowing if you'll enjoy the book yourself unless you red it. It's all a matter of taste.
