Watch Me Die by Lee Goldberg
What's the genre? What is it you like or don't like about this cover? Does it make you want to know more about the book? Does it make you want to BUY the book? Discuss.
I can't say I like this one either although I'm trying to decide why. it is partially that I am not sure what that is. Building, bridge, ship, freeway? I'm not sure & I don't like the way she is behind part of the title. I find the kool-aid colors of the title not attractive.
It is one of those covers you feel like you should like, it looks professional, but don't. Just not appealing to me at all.
I'm close to liking this one a lot. I actually like the effect of showing her behind the title. I like the change in color on the title but kind of agree with J. R. Tomlin, the colors are a bit kool-aid. It might suit the tone of the book more if they were just a bit more subdued.
I think the thing I like least is that it's top heavy. I would be tempted to move the author name down to the bottom.
I do like the idea behind the cover, but I'm not crazy about the background picture. Maybe if it was moved lower so that we can see the falling person better it might give it a stronger feeling.
Another thriller type novel it looks like.

I really like the colours, though it doesn't look the sort of genre I'd buy - a tough thriller.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a thriller.

LOVE it. Stylish, professional. Would buy it based on that cover alone.
