I don't know how I get to a decision but I do usually have a feel on how i'm going to like this or that, just from the comments (hype or not, positive or negative,...) ; for instance I know I won't like "DaVinci code" & didn't even try, I knew I would love Stieg Larsson's Millenium & I did...it' a mixture of who says what about the thing that makes the trick... I have of course no way to test if it's accurate (I probably have missed great things like that, on a hunch...)
I get fed up w/ some (over)long franchises : I used to love Raymond Feist, now I'm fed up; I loved all the "Dune" original series, & didn't stick to the pre-quels...
