Cover I Want to Like Tonight, Except...
Happy Labor Day to those in the U.S.…
This caught my eye tonight:
Okay, it’s a simple setup. But it made me look twice. Then a third time, after I’d read the description.
Why? The premise of this book is interesting (quoting the Amazon page):
In a not-so-distant future, a deadly virus kills off every human on Earth, except for Laura Byrd, a wildlife specialist on an expedition to the South Pole. Readers quickly learn that the dead move on to another life in a fantastic city on another plane of existence; there, they live out a second life free from aging and disease until every person who knew them on Earth dies. The chapters alternate between Laura and those in the city of the dead, often showing how these individuals connect to her.
So, my question is, eye-cathing as it might be, does this cover serve that premise? I can’t help but to feel like the cover should have been more, well, out there.
What do you think?
Comments:
I’ve read the book. The cover fits it well, but you have to read it to realize it.
Definitely eye-catching. It gives a sense of place, like a city neighborhood, that doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with the premise, but the previous comment makes it sound like an “aha!” cover.
