in the beginning, its no point going through all the detailed descriptions-for eg think of lesmiserables, and the page after page descriptions of the outbreak of insergunce
reading them kills the love energy everything
its betetr to skip them first
once th ebook is done,then the detailed descriptions add to the falvour of teh book and we can chrish and relish them
so descriptions to be read but only after we finish the book once 😆
atleast i do so 😳

Well i skip the unimportant detail like for example the decor of the room, for me just the general idea is enough,but some descriptions are very intresting.. The only descriptions till yet i have found intresting are mostly in Harry Potter.. Other then dat i tend to get bored by more description.. Description til 4-5 lines is enough, more den dat i skip! 😳

I read them! It helps get a visual on how a book is going to be. Then when i'm done, i refer back to it and compare how the description has changed now that i read the book. 😳

I always do read every word of the book, but find myself space out, if the author decides to mention every bush in the vicinity, and it's state (especially so, in fantasy novels), which I think is not needed. But authors do have some personal vision, and I've got no problem envisioning that vision 😆 😆 😆
