Follow Friday(22)

 

Follow Friday is a weekly blog hop event hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

This week's Question is: Q: Worst cover? What is the worst cover of a book that you've read and loved?   Wow, this weeks question is a toughy. I really have to think about this one. There are definitely a few books that I have read that in my opinion have terrible covers. Below are just a few of them. I don't think I can name just one.   And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie I just really hate this cover. I mean it doesn't convey at all the awesomeness of the book. A lone person standing on a bunch of rocks. I mean how boring does this look. I wish they could come up with a better portrayal of the essence of the book.   Inkheart by Cornelia Funke I don't get this cover at all. From what I remember it doesn't even have a lizard gecko thing in the book. This is such a wonderful story that deserves a better cover. I am just sayin.   Angels and Demons by Dan Brown This is one of my all time favorite reads. I mean it involves a high speed action packed mystery and this is the cover they give us. I mean it makes no sense. A man running into fire, with some sort of ripped page and a building with windows. Once again wished it had a better cover.   The Giver by Lois Lowry I recently read this book like a year and a half ago and it blew my mind. Completely loved it and it was my first real sort of dystopian that is a classic. I have seen this book around for years ever since 5th grade and the main reason I didn't show interest in it is because of the creepy looking man on the cover. I mean who wants to read a book with a squinting angry looking man on it. This amazing book totally needs a cover revamp pronto. So glad I actually piced it up and read it. =]   That's it for me. I acutally had fun with this Follow Friday. =]   P.S. CAPTCHA: If you have CAPTCHA word verification enabled on your blog, please take it off. It makes it much more difficult for readers to comment.
