If you want to buy a book, you should probably read about it first (duh)

As i said if you want to read a book you should probably read about it first. I am reading all these reviews like"This book wasn't like the other books it was a stupid thing full reviews." well you shouldnt be mad because it was your fault. you didnt read the back and now youre paying the price for it.Literally. I also read theentire sreies in a school week.(I'm thirteen, and 'm still reading. in your face people who say teens are to cool to read:) Enjoy these books thoroughly.
