I don't like the fringes on the new one.
I sure do love to nitpick.
You will never be famous.

why didn't they have the shotgun barrel carving a scratch into the wooden floor? that would have been better, hehe - if not too forward
thats slightly extreme for a book cover.

I do know all about Chuck's grandpa. I thought the fringes were supposed to be a curtain, like he's standing on the stage. But now I know. And knowing is half the battle.
You will never be famous.
there were other ways they could have went about let everybody know he was under abed but this is ok.

...but true to the story if you read the interview with chuck about looking from under his bed at his grandfather's shoes - and teh shotgun barrel being dragged across the floor...
that would mess me up for life. plus my grandpa was very very creepy as is, a shot gun and dirty boots would make his image even worse.

The white border is the backround and won't appear on the actual cover. The 30% off sticker isn't a part of the cover either.

sheeeeeew
i was beginning to break out in nervous sweats there for a moment

It wasn't him looking and his bed. It was about his father lying under the bed and seeing his father with the shotgun and all.
But I don't like the cover.

I still thik it looks like a bathroom stall. I'd like to think the best place to read and relax at the same timeis taking a shit and reading till your legs go numb.
this is the way I read most of his books.
