Its the synopsis for me, too, but not necessarily reviews. I don't read them much because I find I allow myself to be distracted by them. So, if the synopsis looks like it might be something I'll enjoy, I read it. If the writing is less than enthralling, I don't finish.

Sometimes I want to read something but cant get into it. If there's nothing inherently "bad" about it, I'll listen in audiobook form. I was like that with The God of Small Things. I just loved the audiobook and have listened twice now, but still, for some reason, find myself unable to read it. It continues to languish in my bookshelf.
