Endorsements on a book seem to be on the level of washing powder adverts. I can't see the point of them. A particularly cynical ploy by many publishers. I'm not even impressed by ones from authors I like on books I like.

And actual blurbs? In the front matter or on rear cover? Often seem to either have bad spoilers or be written by someone that heard someone else talking about it. They may help sell books, but I rate them low on honesty or usefulness.
