I suppose it's true that it's eye-catching, but if they had a naked teenager on the cover, that would be eye-catching too, and neither that nor this in the good way.<br /><br />I would honestly feel uncomfortable buying such a book even if I wanted to read the content, because of that cover. I would probably either wait for it in eBook format, or, if I had to read it right away (say, it was the next installment in a series that I love), I might order it online and then immediately replace the cover with something else, like one of those protective sleeves for paperbacks. <br /><br />Perhaps this is the "middle-aged male," perspective speaking, but I can't help but think that carrying a copy of that book around would be akin to wearing a t-shirt saying, "Hi. I'm a pedophile."<br /><br />(I showed the post to my partner, and she said that she couldn't imagine owning it even if she were a young adult -- both in terms of being seen around school with it or being seen by her parents with it.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379977506298075887.post-29848447994315357142009-02-26T22:32:00.000-05:002009-02-26T22:32:00.000-05:00I think I'd like it if it weren't for the Keen eye...I think I'd like it if it weren't for the Keen eyes and kewpie-doll lips.

I wouldn't boycott it or anything, but I don't care for it. It doesn't look animae enough to me it looks like an 8 year old child with large breasts.
