And why 99% of the covers that end up here, are created by, or used by, authors who believe that self-same nonsense about how the cover doesn’t matter. Hey, if you want to kill off your book, yup, that’s a good belief to have.
Nope, just someone who read and enjoyed the book, this site came up in a search, unfortunately. Normally I wouldn’t bother commenting but felt that this whole website was so mean spirited that I should.
Criticism is one thing but spending your time patting each other’s backs by putting down things on which people spend their time and imagination, just seems a little sad. I think I’m just a little tired of hipster cynicism and wanted to stand up for an author whose work I enjoy.
Feel free to make a witty riposte. I couldn’t give two sniffs of a hedgehog’s fart, quite frankly.
Just realize that you’ve now surrendered the right to ever say that a movie was bad (even though you’ve never made one), or that a professional sports games was poorly played (even though you’re not a pro athlete), or that your elected officials are acting suboptimally (even though you’ve never held high office).
This book has a new cover and….honestly, can’t say it’s massively better. That title/logo/branding is still impossible to read. I think the two characters are riding…a large hairy pig? That maybe flies? Hard to know.
I will say this: Francis can DRAW, no two ways about it. The illos are terrific.
The book has 3 ratings/reviews–two 5 stars and one one-star.\, since it was published in January. Honestly, this guy could do himself a world of good if he would just get a better cover and abort that impossible-to-read title which is made worse by it being a made-up word. The writing is not bad.
Does this have anything to do with taking a sledgehammer to my wishes’ ankles?
Is that Pinocchio and his nose, in the windows or TV sets behind her??? Eh?
Does this remind anybody of a PlayStation 2 game cover?
No – maybe a PlayStation 1 cover though?!?
It reminds me of an old Ubisoft logo or something like that.
Ahhh so this is where all the arseholes congregate. Maybe try creating something rather than bitching about those who do.
Oh, you’re so witty! Misinformed and fragile, but witty!
Maybe try reading books instead of complaining.
Or maybe we can do both, because we’re capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time.
I offer the following modest creation.
Red hair femme fatale
Redneck TV ETs
Red juice with three frogs
Wishhobbler circling drain.
You know the saying never judge a book by it’s cover? Is that the same for bawbags and comments?
Gee, yes, we HAVE heard that saying. How brilliant of you to bring it up! In fact, there’s an entire page here about that exact brain-dead sentiment and why it’s stupid: https://lousybookcovers.com/judging-books-by-their-covers/

Jiminy Cricket was far, far smarter than this.
You wouldn’t be Francis, now, wouldja, Jimmy???

Yes, I’m sure you’re above all that.

Because that would be a little sad, n’est pas?
