What influences your book choice more: title, book cover, or review?
The title is what catches my attention first, so I would have to say the title is most influential. However, if most of the reviews are bad, I will shy away from choosing the book. I never let the cover influence my decision. I believe in the saying never judge a book by its cover.

I would say title plays a huge role. I use the cover to eliminate books, but not to pick them.

The title carries the most weight - then reviews - then book cover. Sometimes I am very pleasantly surprised by the content (when the cover needs a refresh).
