This forum is has MUCH more literate members than some other forums ;-). This is one of many things I like here. Literate, polite, well informed, thoughtful posts with very few trolls and flamewars.
By the way ... I wonder, how many members here have English as their mother language. For me, for example, English is a third language (used to be fourth).
To return to the thread topic: I think that bad blurbs are a time-saver. But, for books that are *that* bad, you do not need to read past the first couple of pages.
