I'm sure you've heard the saying "don't judge a book by its cover." But I'm sure we've all done it. The only reason I pick up a book is because the way it looks, and a little bit because of the title. I saw this book cover and thought it was very interesting. It definitely caught my attention, which is what a cover should do. I then further looked into the book was about, and was a little disinterested, but at least the cover caught my attention.
This cover is really cool to me. I like the coloring and the outlet and everything about it. It's so cool and makes me want to read it, but then I read the title and it didn't sound as interesting to me. Titles play a very big role in choosing a book as well, because people think the title is what the book is about. This isn't always the case. Some authors make titles of books a metaphor, or some kind of symbol in the book. For example; In the book Along Came a Spider, by James Patterson, it definitely isn't about a spider whatsoever. It's a crime novel about a detective. Most people probably wouldn't think it's actually about a spider, but you never know. 
This cover is an example of why you can't judge a book by its cover. It's the dumbest cover I have ever seen and makes me not want to read it at all. But I did read this book because the Uglies series is incredible. It was on of the first distopian society books I ever read and really enjoyed it. So this is just another example of why not to judge a book by its cover. This looks dumb but was actually a very well written, creative book. It sucks when a book has an awful book cover, because it makes people not want to read it. There's thousands of good books out there that people won't choose, just because the cover.
