Shrink them to thumbnail size and see if it holds up, remember online it'll be a postage stamp in the Amazon search results. In that case E might be the better choice.Thomas Pluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008022962076648740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918800617954487311.post-81511970674455315762011-09-06T06:49:14.925-07:002011-09-06T06:49:14.925-07:00Thanks Maegan and Paul--appreciate your input!Thanks Maegan and Paul--appreciate your input!Les Edgertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17997858985904932554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918800617954487311.post-49751331581101083842011-09-06T03:09:56.763-07:002011-09-06T03:09:56.763-07:00I'm the same as LucaI'm the same as LucaPaul D Brazillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881642426845398389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918800617954487311.post-52102061962709131652011-09-05T16:22:03.392-07:002011-09-05T16:22:03.392-07:00sorry Les,

The one where they're carrying what I presumed to be a body, while dragging a shovel, into the trees. They're all good but for me, this was the one that grabbed me. Without even reading your blurb about it depicting a pivotal scene in the novel, I knew what these two were doing and I knew it was important.<br />maeganMaegan Beaumonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311901347438767578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918800617954487311.post-83077781001799682642011-09-05T13:35:47.931-07:002011-09-05T13:35:47.931-07:00Thanks Birgitte, Erin, Maegan and Chad!

I haven't read the book so I don't know if that's what you're going for... but I do agree with a previous commenter that the hunched over guy in cover D is kinda ambiguous looking, like I wasn't sure what it was at first. Cover E just seems to be edgier, more brutal, like this is going to be a hell of story.Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02677201041101968059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918800617954487311.post-36270401472481834332011-09-05T11:23:19.713-07:002011-09-05T11:23:19.713-07:00I like the cover pics in the last two best...they ...I like the cover pics in the last two best...they make me ask questions about the story.
