Living in Germany gives me the perfect opportunity to compare original covers with the ones German publishers choose. Sometimes they're gorgeous, sometimes they make me cringe, but it's always interesting to see different covers for the same novel.
Cover Comparisons is a weekly feature here at Fictional Distraction.
Last week's winner is the German cover of Awaken by Katie Kacvinsky.
I have a copy of the very pretty US version of Falling Under sitting on my shelf and it has been waiting for me to pick it up way too long now. But with the upcoming release of its sequel I definitely need to pick it up soon.
I love everything about the US cover: the roses, the font, title and author placement and how the red dress gives a little bit more life to the whole composition. Sadly I don't really like the German version: the girl's face is weirdly cropped and looks a little bit out of place, in my opinion. The pink writing can't really break through the darkness and everything is dominated by the floral pattern. So I'm definitely voting for the US version!
