The Friday Face-Off is a meme created by Books by Proxy with a current list of themes to be found over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare the different covers of a book with each week being a certain theme.
This weeks theme is: “Lips as red as the rose” – a cover that is predominantly red.
Before my choice of book for the meme and as I have such a fantastic taste in music here is the music video for Let Go by Red.
See, the theme for the week is a cover that is predominantly red and the band is called Red so it fits in with the meme! 🙂
My choice.
The Outsider by Stephen King.
And the winner:
I really don’t like the cover with the red background which is the UK one, I’m not being very patriotic and supporting my country, sorry, the one with the white background and blue in the design is the German cover and it is pretty cool but for me, the winner has to be the US cover. There is just something about the black and white colour scheme with the author name in gold and the creepy red eyes on the figure that is very appealing and makes for a stunning looking cover.
Thoughts?? Agree?? Disagree?? Have you read the book and is it worth getting??

I think the German cover is the real winner here for me. Although the US edition is rather nice 😊

I like the US cover too. It reminds me of the Dark Tower series that I’m still reading. Some of the bad guys have red eyes.

Not yet no, I like King but his endings (Under the Dome) are often terrible and I’m yet to pick it up, I’ll get it at some point though.👍

Yes I agree about the endings. They are often terrible. Under the Dome is a fantastic example of this. I loved the book and was extremely engrossed in the mystery of it all. The ending was awful and did not do the rest of it justice. Happy weekend!

Awful is the word, so many different endings would have been better than ‘that’ hell, anything would have been.😂

The German cover is very interesting, but I agree the US version is just the right amount of creepy!
