I have never said anything like that. But in this case I had more information about the books and did not expect them to be really good. I read them since I am going to be in a panel discussing the Hugo nominated books. I said I read award nominated books but I never said that I expected them to be really good books. I read them because they are part of the conversation about science fiction and they are the books that are referred to a lot at science fiction conventions.
What I have said is that just reading a sample can never tell you if the book is really good or just OK.
