Oh my gosh, the UK cover for The Devouring is so gross! I agree, I wouldn't want that on my shelf! Plus, the US one is so intriguing and much prettier too :)T.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12326693692811570135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751729015533379496.post-30580895638327879722011-05-25T13:44:50.560+01:002011-05-25T13:44:50.560+01:00Agree about both of the books!

I haven't read the book, but I know it's about a circus and the US cover does have a more circus-y feel to it. Especially the font, just like Jess said.<br /><br />The UK cover for the devouring is just plain creepy... And scary... And would probably give you nightmares... The US cover is nothing remarkable, but it is sooo much better than the creepy UK one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751729015533379496.post-65759810026129319972011-05-25T11:27:40.478+01:002011-05-25T11:27:40.478+01:00I prefer both of the US covers ..

I have to chime in here on Water For Elephants though. I haven't seen the movie but I have read the book and I think the US cover is better. The UK cover doesn't seam all the related to the book in fact. The Devouring I haven't read and don't know much about it but the US cover suggests scary angst young adult book, the UK cover suggest the characters in the book will come out of the pages and eat you alive. What the hell!Jessica ( frellathon )https://www.blogger.com/profile/08866967000173331227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751729015533379496.post-35069276373346250352011-05-25T09:43:50.603+01:002011-05-25T09:43:50.603+01:00Both the US versions win easily in my opinion.

Although, I must say, the UK version of "Water for Elephants" just seems SO regal and elegant, but I think the US version takes it ONLY because the circus theme plays such a STRONG role in the story.
