A good title can certainly sometimes create false expectations. One of my least favourite books also happens to have one of my favourite titles. (The History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters.)I guess these two facts might be linked. The same as being presented with a bunch of crysanthemums when you were told they'd be roses. You might have liked them, had they been called crysanthemums!
