The Many Reasons I Hate J.K. Rowling's New Book's Cover (The Casual Vacancy)

Goodreads

When I first laid eyes on it I just couldn't breathe. Is this what the world has come to? Let me go on a rant here.

1. It is plain.
2. What's with those colors?! It's like, yellow, and that weird peach that borders on reddish... It makes my eyes want to drink heavily and then jump off a building just to see which hurts more, the dying or looking at this cover for more than a second.
3. We have come a long way in book covers, this looks like a cover of a book made in the 70s. The colors remind me of the 70s.
4. It has no real artistic flare, it's boring-bore-bore.
5. What's with the X?
6. At least the book's name goes a bit with the cover, if you focus on the vacant part (it has a vacancy in artistic drive).
7. You bother me cover, you really do.
8. I know you are trying to stay away from being associated with HP, but this is cover suicide!!

I hate it. There, I said it in plain English. I dislike it, I am not a fan, no me gusta.

Please let this not be the FINAL cover, and just a vicious prank.

Sincerely,


I'm sorry, did not mean to be hostile, but I really don't like it T__T
