What's in the 'Blurb'?

What is a Blurb? A blurb is the second most important selling object for books. A blurb usually is written on the back cover and describes hundreds of words in a coupe of discriptive sentences.

One of the things that I looked for was the front cover once I've seen the front cover and it appeals to me and start to read the blurb, here it the most important thing of the book. Once you've read the blurb you'll have a brief discription of what the book is about instead of wasting your time on a book you read and didn't enjoy.
The main parts of the blurb that appealed to me were the big bold headings etc.( ACTON, ADVENTURE )and the extrodinary text and language etc. ( the roller coaster ride of your life!, Action packed from head to toe )
My first impressions on my book Extreme Adventures 'Shark Bait' were "This looks pretty cool, I'll give it a try." and I tried it and it was super cool I loved it all the way to the end. The awesomometre was 100% and it was still rising.
Couple of things inspired me to have a go and read this book, one being the colour and text. These to things put together are inseparable from each other because of the large font coloured in with extrodinary colours making you just walk over pick the book up and just start reading it with no delay, its like the book hypnotizes you from the minute you look at the front cover and then places you in your own little world once you've read the blurb.
'Shark Bait' 
It's here! the most action packed, extrodinary book in Extreme Adventures history, with action from head to toe your extremonator will be going wild with action all throughout this book. Sam meets a boy called Michi, a young Japanese boy who cant swim and hated water and when Sam and Michi were watching the colourful coral reef they looked up knowing that they shouldn't of, then...

Once you've read the blurb you'll know for sure, that inside the book your holding, beholds another world within this universe.

Next time you pick up a book, think twice and just give it a chance.... and 99% of the time you'll love it.
It's guaranteed.
