How much do reviews (good and bad) affect your choice of reading? If you see a bad review of a book you wanted to read, do you still read it? If you see a good review of a book you’re sure you won’t like, do you change your mind and give the book a try?

Generally I don't like to read book reviews because I don't want another's opinion to affect how I read a book. However, I have found a lot of good books through looking at book reviews. I mainly skim the review and gather bits and pieces from the titles to see if I'm interested. I've had plenty of experiences where I have read a book and hated it only to see many people rave about it. One example was Eat, Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.
