I haven't read the book yet, but I have heard that there's a lot of action and a group of other characters she's with. The cover does seem to be misleading then because it does give off the vibe of her being all alone. <br /><br />Gina, Isn't that color red perfect? I love it.

I feel like there will be too many contemplative sections since she appears to be alone.

But something I’ve done before :P (actually, just today with the cover of Solid). I can see this cover appealing to adults, too. <br /><br />Nic, Me too. I want to find out about her struggles and why the world is like that. I agree about the font, too. It really works with this cover. <br /><br />Sally, Oh I totally agree with you! I’ve seen the UK cover and it’s just so disappointing next to this one. She does have a pet crow though, I think? So at least the UK one sort of connects to the story. I’d spend the extra money just to get the US cover though. I’m shallow too :)<br /><br />The Slowest Bookworm, No, I agree. I wouldn’t have been at all interested if I had only seen the UK cover. The US one says so much about the world and makes me so curious. <br /><br />Heather, Oh, I can see that. It definitely screams “I’M SET IN A DEPRESSING POST-APOCALYPTIC WORLD!” and that isn’t at all happy. :P It seems so arid and bleak. I have heard good things about the book, but for me my hang up is the phonetic writing. I just <i>can’t</i> do that!<br /><br />Alex, The colors aren’t very eye-catching. I do like how it seems to fit the book though (at least I assume it does, since I haven’t read the book yet). I like bright colors on covers. Like the Goddess Girls :)<br /><br />Alisa, Thanks for returning the comment!<br /><br />Denise, It intrigues me too. I really want to find out what made her world so bleak.<br /><br />Carmel, I agree!<br /><br />A Backwards Story, Interesting associations! The word Road always makes me think of Cormac McCarthy's book now. From all the reviews I've read, it seems like Blood Red Road is almost universally liked. I'm still a little worried about the writing style, but I'm very curious. Hope you enjoy it!Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-37821023958282051962011-06-13T19:34:11.636-04:002011-06-13T19:34:11.636-04:00You know, because of the muted colors, whenever I ...You know, because of the muted colors, whenever I saw this cover online, I overlooked it. And the title had Blood in the title (I don't like blood) and the word Road (which reminds me something boring we'd read for school).<br /><br />But when I saw the corrugated display at the store and read the summary, the book sounds AMAZING! I looked it up on GoodReads and saw the main character compared to Katniss in spirit. I bought the book that day!

It's so bleak, I don't want to read it. In fact I took it off my order list. I'm sorry because I've seen nothing but good reviews of it, but it just seems so dusty and barren. Put her next to the water and I'd be okay. Maybe because it reminds me that I'm leaving the beach and moving back to the middle of a state. Feeling landlocked. I don't know, but I'm a water girl. And this one is unsettling to me.<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-90780027384540298052011-06-12T10:40:43.329-04:002011-06-12T10:40:43.329-04:00I wanted to read this book immediately I saw that ...I wanted to read this book immediately I saw that cover.
