Some of you may know that my favourite book of 2011 was Divergent by Veronica Roth. There aren't that many books that capture my heart and mind so intensely but this did without a doubt. I spent days thinking about it & have also developed a huge love for Four - I will find a Four one day.
Some of us may know that its been decided to give the UK edition of the books a new look. The Divergent cover has been doing the rounds for a while, but if you haven't seen it here it is....
Today the new cover of Insurgent has been revealed which I am thrilled to be able to share with you now!!!
Now I'm not 100% in love with these yet, but I must admit I am a very pinky / purple girl and so these colours are hugely appealing. I love that they have stuck with the shininess too. I cannot wait to finally get my very own copy to reacquaint myself with the lovely Four!!!
I don't like these covers at all. I'm a guy who loved Divergent but these covers are aiming the series at girls. If a guy saw these in a bookshop or a library I'm sure he wouldn't be picking them up.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree, these do look far more aimed at girls, which is a shame as stories like this should be read by all!!!
ReplyDeleteI think they have changed them because the other covers were too boy-y and weren't selling over here cos girls thought they were boys books and boys didn't want to read about a girl... That's what I read anyway! I like these new covers but I prefer the others... Especially the cover for divergent! The us cover is amazing for insurgent though!
