Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover

Have you ever been in a bookstore or library trying to find a good book to read, and you read the book jacket to see what the book is about? I am sure many of you have. I was doing that the other day at my local library as I was searching for a good read to bring home. I chose one particular book off the shelf and read the summary of the book, but it was way more than a synopsis. The description basically gave the whole story away! What is the point of me reading it now? I basically know everything that is going to happen! 


How about when you choose a book because the description on the jacket makes it sound like a really interesting, captivating story? However, you just can’t get into it because it is actually a snoozer. Boring. Maybe you keep trying and tell yourself, “Let me just get to chapter---” so you can really give the book a chance. When you get to that spot, though, it's still boring as heck. That was time you will never get back.


So, I guess we really can’t judge a book by its cover, because sometimes that information can be very deceiving. Maybe next time you find a title that interests you, read some reviews first. Or take a chance. Or maybe don’t read anything beforehand at all. Then you won't be disappointed!
