I really dislike how on new books...

... there are reviews stating what the book is about (on the front and back of the book). Why not let the reader decide for themselves?

If they're prepared to assume we can read, why can't they also assume we can think?

@NudasPriest They probably assume people can't decide for themselves 😅
@JupiterDreams I'm picturing an English teacher: Now class, this week's assignment is "What did the author mean by ...". But Miss, it says that on the back cover ...

Some people need that reassurance that others actually enjoyed something that they could possibly enjoy reading.

@SpectralMourning Maybe... but it feels like the reviews are telling readers what to feel and how they should interpret the book, rather than let ghe reader decide for themselves 😅

@JupiterDreams I agree with that too. They are meant to sell us lol.
