@Julez don't think of it like Twilight or etc, it's very different than that 8D the vampire part is almost incidental I guess, it's more about the relationships and the circumstances.
I had a funny thing with reviews yesterday. I read the reviews for The Scarlet Letter and there was one which summed up my thoughts perfectly in this really funny satire. Best part: Someone I actually know well even commented on that review saying how much they found it funny, and she and I never talked about this book at all XD

I agree about the reviews!
Unless they are all negative, then I will probably take them into account.
Okay that sounds cool then, jacob!
Oh that's funny indeed.
I also read The Scarlett Letter a while ago for uni. I thought it was not too bad.

I quite liked the storyline, I just wished he would get to the point XD Although I think I would like it more if I had studied it, because I'm sure there were references and meanings below the text that I wouldn't get without help.
I like to ignore reviews completely most of the time. If I do read them, usually I'm looking for some clue about how the storyline will go, if the blurb is too vague.

I also don't look at reviews actually. I mostly do not care :P
There are a few hints here and there, yes. But admittedly the beginning was hard to read for me, but it got better with the course of the story.

I don't trust those ones at all because they're often misquoted XD Like, I could say "It could be excellent if they changed everything about it" and the cover quote will just say "excellent!"
Or even sneakier: "Everything about it... excellent!"
There are a lot of examples of this which have been documented, it's kind of crazy.
