lol...no, it's not just you! My first reaction to the sword was to jerk away from the picture! There was also the fact that the picture seemed too busy. Although, it does get points for getting the message across straightaway.trulyfreeclub wrote: ↑30 May 2018, 19:48 Is it just me or others feel the same way too?
To tell you honestly, my first impression with the picture as cover page for the book is not very alluring. I'm not trying to judge the character of the author nor the picture of the man in tattoos, but I find it disturbing to put it on cover page.
First, it scares a lot of people to see someone swallowing a sword, including me.
Second, I don't think this book is intended for kids of all ages.
Third, I would surely not try to read this book.
Lastly, inasmuch as I don't like circus and tattoos, I do hope people would read this book by Gary Robinson.
Thank you for taking time to read my post! Kudos to the author for such bold writing.

It may not be for every age group, but thats not Gary Robinson's point. (in my opinion)
If anything it doesn't fall flat.

Haha, well played, mate. If that is the case, then it was a risky move on the author's part, or whoever chose the cover, because most people don't go beyond the cover. Most of us here gave the book a chance because it was BOTM

Touche! Your right its caused a discission and drawn interest in an otherwise uninteresting book (based off cover alone) it was either a coincidence or brillianxe on the authors part...guess we'll never know which!Ever_Reading wrote: ↑11 Jun 2018, 10:10Haha, well played, mate.
