Look at the following cover. Imagine that you have only the cover and the information it provides (including images, title and author name) to decide whether to buy this (or any) book.
Would you buy this book having looked only at its cover? If so, what on this cover sold you? If not, what on this cover turned you off?
If you have, in fact, bought and/or read this book, tell us how well our verdicts guided us. Did the cover lead us rightly into great fiction? Or did the cover wrongly steer us toward a bad story or away from a great one?

What merv and johnnycab said.
(Rant) PET HATES
1)Finding a interesting looking book, then discovering that it's the third in a series, for goodness sake, and the bookshop has sold out of the rest of the series
2)Finding a interesting looking book, then discovering that the author is still writing the next in the series.
3)Finding a interesting looking book, then discovering that the next in the series is only out in hardback and cost �17.99 ($34.99) or whatever.

No, not at all. Judging on the cover, and the cover alone, it looks like absolute trash, and I would avoid it at all costs (forget, even, that it's third in a trilogy).
The cover's just absolutely horrendous. _________________ "It ain't all buttons and charts little Albatross. You know what the first rule of flyin' is?... Love.
