Reflection #5
Judging Books by Their Cover
I know I shouldn’t do this, but I judge book by the covers.
I most likely won’t read something if the cover doesn’t interest me. Certain
book covers that look futuristic or look like a fantasy novel, I stay far away
from. Anything that has a vampire or werewolf, I tend to move right past as
well. The things I do like the read are books with realistic people on them.
Not a scene from the movie, I don’t like those covers, but maybe a cover with
people flying a kite or running away. I like things that look like they could
actually happen. The book cover for Two
Way Street is a good example because it extends over both sides. On the
front, is the main character and on the back is her boyfriend. I like it
because it gives you an idea of what the book is going to be a about – a couple
on a road trip, going through some trouble. Another cover I like is the cover
of Along for the Ride because while
it does show the cropped feet that Karen Heller talks about, it has bright
colors and just looks like a fun read. I feel like the cover of a book can say
a lot about it and that’s why I have specific things I look for on the cover,
to guarantee that I’ll like the book.

I am the same as you. I probably shouldn't judge books by their covers but I do. There's no stopping it. I completely agree with your point that the cover gives you a good insight into what the book will be like and that is why I judge books by their cover.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing. I wont look twice at a book if I think the cover is boring. I Also agree that book covers with pictures of somthing that could actually happen are more intresting and tell alot more about the book.
