I'm glad I didn't see it in theaters and waste that money.Aelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587641045662673457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073210112575234336.post-57988676105535017492010-07-07T14:24:46.607-04:002010-07-07T14:24:46.607-04:00@Falen - I usually don't either, but if I do I...@Falen - I usually don't either, but if I do I can at least appreciate someone who took the time to say 'this is what I liked/didn't like' without some kind of ulterior motive.<br /><br />@Stephanie - I've never checked out Goodreads, but it sounds like you find it valuable so I think I'll check it out :) Reviews really are subjective, you're right.

Books, movies, even restaurants..it's all so subjective. I would rather form my own opinion. Because there have been many many times I've seen something or ate somewhere with the great review from a close friend..someone who's opinion I valued..and I hated it. And vice versa...we've loved things other people have hated. <br /><br />BUT...I do sometimes find new books I might not have found otherwise by reviews.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401931638397651614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073210112575234336.post-508299878229081622010-07-06T11:17:29.408-04:002010-07-06T11:17:29.408-04:00i pretty much don't read any reviews any more....i pretty much don't read any reviews any more. it just takes the fun out of the anticipationSarah Ahiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795455714801965956noreply@blogger.com
