I guess you guys take descriptions more seriously than I do. I look to them as a source of information to help me decide if a book interests me but I know most descriptions are hype and not to be treated as honest descriptions. I'm bothered by certain kinds of blatant dishonesty such as "perfect for readers of ___", as I said, but even then I might get past that and find that the book interests me.
I'm more influenced by what I learn about the book than I am by it's description. If I don't find anything useful in the description I might stop reading it and look at reviews or other information sources. But I don't worry too much about it. There are a LOT more good books than I'll be able to read in a lifetime so missing a few isn't a problem as long as I find enough, and I do.
