This is a really great book, but I don’t suggest listening to it on Audiobook! Jim Dale is a great narrator but the book skips around in time a lot and I was unable to follow along through the audiobook and was often confused!
Least Favorite:
Planeta internacional 2012 | Ikar 2012 | წიგნები ბათუმში 2018
I don’t like the art style of the First one. The Second one is kind of trippy, and the Third looks like a sea shell.
Favorite:
Random House 2012 | Vintage Classics 2016 | De Bezige Bij 2011 | Hayakawa Publishing 2012
This one was super tough! There are a lot of covers I really like! I am particularly drawn to the last one because it is the prettiest cover, but I think the cover being black and white with a little red is super important to the story!
Winner:
If I didn’t know anything about the book I would probably choose Hayakawa Publishing 2012, but I have read the story and it doesn’t make sense for the cover to be anything other than Black, White, and Red. So this one has to be the winner!
Which is your favorite? Do you agree with my choice? Let me know in the comments!!
I’m not really into book covers. But I enjoyed the book.

I like the one you choose, but there is just something about the third one in your favorites list that I love.

I like your choice (it’s the version I have) but there’s something about that all red cover especially amongst all the others that one or the Alma literari 2012 cover!

I love the Vintage Classics cover but also, not having read this I would probably have chosen the Hayakawa.
Great choice.

I really love the Hayakawa cover! But yea, having read it, it needs to be red, black, and white 🙂 Thanks!

What a hard one! So many are sooo pretty! I agree, it’s gotta be red black and white. But if I had to deviate then it would be number 3 in your favourites.
