What. The hell. Is this?
I'm not even sure. It's on Amazon.com as the paperback of Anybody Out There, but there's a much more attractive - sorry, considerably less eye-stabbingly hideous - paperback on there too. What was this? A dummy? A joke?
Anyway, I had to tear my eyes away and so I pointed them in the direction of Marian's new book, This Charming Man to compare the US and UK covers...
As I'm sure you know, This Charming Man is about domestic violence.
While the US cover on the left is more suggestive of domestic violence, I do find it a little bit 90s.
But the UK cover, while, arguably, more aesthetically pleasing is just a bit random. I mean, I'm not really getting domestic violence from glittery fireworks coming from a toaster (of course, when I read the book, all may become clear) and it reminds me a little of the Meg Cabot Queen of Babble cover I hate so much.
So what do you think? Which do you prefer? (The This Charming Man covers, I mean - surely we can all agree that the Anybody Out There? cover is a travesty?)
