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!
