The cover was a bit confusing at first. But once I started getting in to the book the cover made sense. I think the cover art was very appropriate for the book.

I first thought the cover was quite attention grabbing. It's colorful and depicts an interesting scene. After reading the book, I realized how befitting it is to the content of the book.

I didn't understand this book's cover until I read the review at least. I think the picture on the cover should be made more obvious so that readers get a clear gist of the book at a glance. That said, I think the cover illustration depicts the book well.

Art can be interpreted differently, and sometimes what the artist had in mind Is different from what the art critic understands.
To me, the art work is appropriate considering the content of the novel.

I think you will appreciate the cover once you start reading otherwise the cover tells all the message about the novel.

The cover of the book perfectly depicts racism. It's in order, in my opinion.

Before reading the book, the cover didn't make any sense. It seemed confusing. After reading the book, I will say that the cover is apt. It depicts the racism and abuse prevalent in Vietnam.

The cover does paint a vivid image of what the book is about. Someone who hasn't read the book would have a pretty good idea of what the book is about.

The cover of the book felt very abstract and unattractive to me at first. I was only able to make sense of it after reading the book.

At first, the cover page gave me a wrong impression of the book, but as I began reading it my attention and interest started increasing. I think the cover page gives no spoiler to what the book is entirely about which is good

Actually the cover page doesn't give the full details of the content of the book. For someone like me, before I choose a book, some of the times, I check through the cover page, then the scan through.

Well I like the cover, at first it was a bit confusing, it's definitely a 'don't judge the book by it's cover' but after reading, all I can say is it displays or depicts the theme of racism

They say don't judge a book by its cover but I very nearly did with this one. At first, it was hard to comprehend. There seemed to be a lot going on. While reading the book later, it all came together to make perfect sense.

I think the cover says alot about the book's theme. Chaotic and war-ridden.
