Context

This is an attempt to figure out if books can be judged by the blurb or cover. I wanted to find out if the description of a book is indicative of the genre or the rating of the book. Or if the genre of a book can be figured out by looking at the cover.

Inspiration

Can a book be judged by its cover? What can you tell about a book by reading the description?
