I'll read the blurb to see what the book is about. Usually if it is only filled with comments by other people saying how wonderful the book is, I would be more wary of it.
I suppose in a way, I am influenced by the illustrations on the cover; Memoirs of a Geisha, for example, has the picture of an Oriental woman on a dreamy blueish type of background. I probably would not have read it if I hadn't heard of it many times beforehand.
