I love random buys
I read the blurb, if that looks interesting enough to me, I'll have a look inside and then I know very quickly whether it's something I want to read or not. I'd never base my choice of reading material on someone else's review. I don't always get it right and I've read some stuff that turned out, in my opinion, to be utter rubbish (mostly due to unnecessary padding and repetitions to stretch the thing to a trilogy as seems to be the fashion nowadays) and yet the books had mostly 5 stars - needless to say, I didn't buy books 2 & 3
