Don't really influence me

I might read them but I really don't let them influence me if something sounds good I am going to read it no matter what. Just because they didn't like it doesn't mean that I won't and vis-versa.

Customer reviews and comments don't always impact me the way a recommendation from a friend or trusted writing acquaintance does. Once I read an author's endorsement for a book that was a terrible reading experience. Months later I met the author and asked her why she recommended the book. She said, "My contract with the publisher required it. They borrowed my name." I know my friends won't steer me wrong with a book that will waste my time.
