What not to buy

Tired of all of those sites that look at what you like and extrapolate other things that you will like?

Here's something different: A site that tells you what you will probably not like.

Just go tell The Unsuggester what books you like and it will give you suggestions for things that you should avoid.

For example: If you like "Critique of Pure Reason" by Immanuel Kant you are likely to dislike "Confessions of a Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella. If you like "All-American Girl" by Meg Cabot you are likely to dislike "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick.
