I just read on a little more than I normally would and skim some parts just to see how crazy it will get :) Also YES to seeing the good reviews about books I found offensively bad.

If it's very bad I get a weird pleasure laughing at it. There are times where the book is just so ridiculous you can't help but continue just for laughs.

Reading some books is like watching a train wreck though, you can't help but want to read it further to see where it takes you despite the you dislike about it.<br /><br />I also find it easier to write reviews of books I have strong opinions -- good or bad.Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596564390509397743.post-47234796654453401032016-04-06T14:11:35.589-04:002016-04-06T14:11:35.589-04:00Haha, I do sometimes do this.

If I'm super curious, I'll look up spoilery reviews. But there is one book I made myself finish even though I hated it and every time I see good reviews for it or excitement over the rest of the series I GENUINELY DON'T UNDERSTAND. You're so right about writing reviews too!
