The Friday Face-Off is a new meme created by Books by Proxy, where the idea is to compare the UK and US covers of a book with each week being a certain theme, this week’s theme is – This solitary tree! A living thing – a cover with a tree or trees.
Cover A:
Cover B:
Cover C:
Cover B:
This is my winner for the week, I really like the font and colour scheme of cover A and usually I would have picked that as the winner. But, there’s just something sinister that I really like about Cover B with the apple being pealed, revealing the writing inside.
Thoughts?? Agree?? Disagree??
Why not join in:
Next weeks theme: 7th October: Consumed by the darkness within, it hides all our sins” a cover that is predominantly black.

I agree! I really like Cover A’s colors. But that apple on Cover B is creepy and awesome! I don’t know, though… I still think overall I’d pick Cover A. 😉

Have to agree with you about the colouring on cover A, it’s a great scheme, though the sinister apple won it for me.
Thanks for commenting. 😀

You’re posting early and while at work. 😉 I wanted to read this book back when I started blogging and completely forgot about it. I agree with you on your cover choice. There’s definitely something wicked about that cover. It’s the reason I wanted to read the book months ago. Well, I guess this answers my email about today’s topic. 🙂 It occurred to me about an hour ago that I couldn’t do a face-off if I didn’t know the theme. 😂 And I can’t sleep so I thought why not. Lol

Love your choice and completely agree. I was really liking the first cover until I scrolled down and saw the second quite sinister version.
I’m out of the country at the moment which is why I’m not posting a cover this (or last week) but will catch up soon.

Totally agree, normally I’d have picked the first cover but then when I saw the sinister apple one, it just had to be. 😂

Hmm… I would go for Cover A as well, even thought I’d like it more if the human figure wasn’t there next to the tree… agree with the above comments that the the apple on Cover B is awesome!

Yeah, cover A would be better without the human figure have to agree with you there. 😀

I agree with you – they are all excellent covers – great choice of book, Drew:) but I think B is outstanding. I keep trying to read the inside of the apple peel…

True, it is a great cover, the writing in the peel has a sinister sort of meaning ‘I forgive you’ and ‘he was a good man’ it’s not a book I’ve read but all the covers make me want to read the book. 😀

Cover B all day long. The others look very generic with lack of color. I wouldn’t bother picking them up to even check out the synopsis probably haha.
