Cover Wars – The Forest of Hands and Teeth
The Book: The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
This was one of my favouirte reads of 2009 and one of the four that gave me nightmares. It’s out in paperback this week, rocking a new cover. So I thought in celebration we’d see which cover is best UK or USA.
USA
I just love this cover. I’m not normally a fan of seeing the main characters face but I think they cast this one perfectly. That girl is Mary. I love her hair and the freaky forest behind her too.
UK
I do like this cover, it’s super dramatic but it’s very Twilightish and The Forest of Hands and Teeth is not a Twilightish book. I do love the companion they’ve done for The Dead Tossed Waves though, very cool.
My verdict: USA hands down this week.
What do you think?

Hmm…I think I like the U.K. one better. Though you're right–it is a bit Twilightish.

Definitely the US cover! I think the UK cover is too simple.

Kim – It is quite striking.
YA – Me too. Although I do like simple.

I haven't read the book yet, but the UK one doesn't live up to the expectation of the book. The US one does. US this time.

I do NOT like simple covers with only one or two colors – the USA one is much better and would catch my attention.

Have you seen the paperback edition cover? It's beautiful!
