I know we’re not supposed to critique the innards of the book here, so I’ll just say, the cover looks like it was drawn by a child and the vocabulary used inside supports a middle grade reading level. However, as chapter one describes a sexual assault by the main character, I can only assume the intended audience is meant to be older.
Is a book cover truly lousy if it is an accurate reflection of the book’s contents? Or is it just truth in advertising?
A cover can be both lousy in that it fails to entice a potential buyer, and honest as to the skill level and appeal of the content. Meditate upon this.
Case in point: the cover—and title, and blurb—for Catherine Douglass’ My Dyke American My Queen Of Amazon Leopard Females: Theirs were all thoroughly accurate representations of the atrocious content awaiting within for anyone foolish enough to buy it.

If T-Rex’s evolved into humans, they would have appendages like those.
