I know that I am guilty of this on a regular basis. :S -CBook Junkieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09202094167100433964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787602813106249477.post-4260918242761103062011-01-15T17:33:18.694-05:002011-01-15T17:33:18.694-05:00I really don't like the UK one.

I would definitely have picked this up in a store before the UK cover.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413455837610452585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787602813106249477.post-5534201239662508542011-01-15T10:40:09.067-05:002011-01-15T10:40:09.067-05:00I think the US cover stands out much more than the...I think the US cover stands out much more than the UK.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043565015354770094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787602813106249477.post-66121428002068725032011-01-15T09:53:48.733-05:002011-01-15T09:53:48.733-05:00I prefer the North American cover.

The lack of a visible person adds some mystery -- "What's this book about? I'm going to have to pick it up to find out." The UK cover is nice, smooth lines, clear crisp image, but it falls into the trap that a lot of YA books are falling into of trying to attract readers based on an attractive cover model. It doesn't put across a sense of mystery or intrigue; it puts across the fact that there's a guy in it...<br /><br />But that's just my opinion on it. I know a lot of people like the slightly spooky effect of the lights in the woods on the UK cover, and that's all fine and dandy too. :)Riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389928365091431462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787602813106249477.post-20268963211345488482011-01-15T05:43:45.893-05:002011-01-15T05:43:45.893-05:00The UK cover would be good, if I hadn't seen t...The UK cover would be good, if I hadn't seen the US cover first. The US cover has a lot more going for it than the semi-generic UK cover. I definitely prefer the US cover! It's totally awesome and creepy!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895603279815878376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787602813106249477.post-62701676041795272612011-01-15T03:38:05.158-05:002011-01-15T03:38:05.158-05:00I read it with the US cover but the UK cover is th...I read it with the US cover but the UK cover is the one sold here in New Zealand. The US cover seems a lot less generic and a lot more intriguing to me. I think the UK cover is something you can appreciate more when you know more about the book and the main character Mackie but for the purpose of being eye-catching and getting someone to pick up and read the book, the US cover wins hands-down.Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798087116747300452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787602813106249477.post-7220755926062223842011-01-15T03:10:48.697-05:002011-01-15T03:10:48.697-05:00I think I like the UK version but I do like the re...I think I like the UK version but I do like the red in the US so I'm kinda of torn with this one.BLHmistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760348905228169738noreply@blogger.com
