I really like the perspective of this book cover. The idea of the glasses and looking through multiple viewpoints was well thought out and clever in how they put the different flags in each lense.

I believe that if you look closely, the book cover holds a deeper significance. The glasses with various flags on the lenses suggest the viewpoint of someone who has experienced different cultures and perspectives, and can provide their unique narrative as a result.

I like the cover. I like the colours on it. It gives an idea what the book is about, which makes it a good cover. It is simple and not too harsh on the eyes. The glasses might represent perspective which is interesting.

The book cover I see on my country's Amazon is different from the one everyone else seems to be talking about, which explains my initial confusion at these replies. The cover I see is pretty straightorward and intuitive - just a golden door opening on the Statue of Liberty. I'd dare say it's almost *too* on the nose, but as far as I can tell, pretty fitting for this book.

The lenses in the glasses reflect the two flags representing the two countries. The color scheme works with the symbolism of seeing the American dream through the immigrant's eyes. I get it but I won't write home to Mom about it.

Ali Master did a good job with the book cover. It also gives an idea of the content of the book. The US flag being on one part of the lens and the Pakistan flag being on the other part of the lens.
