Did you ever read a book without reading a summary first?

[Julia Begeman]

I usually try to either read the summary or get a recommendation first, because I've gotten a few surprises by not doing it. I've gone into a book expecting one thing based on the title and cover art, but ended up reading a totally different story than I thought I was getting! Sometimes it's welcome but sometimes I'm really not in the mood for a different genre.

I will usually read a summary before I read the book, at least right before, because it helps me to get oriented with the world and who the main characters are meant to be. However, I have bought plenty of books without reading a summary either because somebody recommended it to me or because I thought the cover was aesthetically pleasing. I’ve tried to stop doing this, though, because i never end up liking the book.

Yeah, sometimes the cover and title of the book fascinates me so much, that I start reading book without reading the summary.

I think most of the time I end up reading books without reading the summary.
The times I read the summary are if I am worried about the content on the inside.

Sometimes I have forgotten that a summary existed on the back of the book haha. So yes, i have read a book without reading a summary first.
