The only reason ...I like the hardcover much better. The only reason that it would give an inspirational feel to me, is because the "H" in "Heaven" looks like the Hallmark logo. I guess the designer meant it to, since the other fonts look like mall store fonts. I would have used the Macy's font for "Heaven" and used some wilder font for "Mall." <BR/><BR/>To me, a gumball machine doesn't say modern-day mall, which the title seems to imply.Kristi Valianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997984098630895653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-55035166566430510812008-11-11T01:18:00.000-05:002008-11-11T01:18:00.000-05:00because we had gotten some feedback that said that...because we had gotten some feedback that said that consumers thought that the book was an inspiration/religion book.<BR/><BR/>Well, I think the fact that the title mentions "Heaven" has already GOT a religious tie at the get go:)<BR/>I personally like the first cover, with the "heaven" feel yet the "mall" escellator (sp... no spell check darn it!)<BR/>The second one, with the bubble gum machine means nothing to me.... it could be a grocery store for all I know.<BR/>Perhaps the clouds could be darker at the bottom, moving lighter to the top of the cover?Christine Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058419743726981987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-31875881056602041902008-11-10T22:55:00.000-05:002008-11-10T22:55:00.000-05:00I just read and enjoyed the new Wendy Mass book.

I'll tell you, every book I read by her is different from the last - in a good way. <BR/><BR/>I do think the cover of the hardcover looks like a religious book now that you mention it, but I like the look of it better.

I loved the characters, and the science, and the way the story built toward a climax that I was fully expecting (it's the subject of the prologue), and yet still surprised and moved by. <BR/><BR/>You know what didn't move? My middle-grade son reading this book. Though once he lowered the book, looked at me, and said "Mom, this is GOOD."<BR/><BR/>I like both covers a lot, but am drawn to the second one.

And I love the contrast of the "heavenly" sky with the very mechanical feel of the escalator. :o)Alicia Padrónhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310467713291422507noreply@blogger.com
