US vs. UK (Round 11)


Today we're pairing up the US and UK versions of Jennifer Donnelly's "Revolution" that was recently released.


Oh wow, I am stuck like chuck on this one. I may lean more towards the US, only because Angela from Reading Angel sent it to me as a RAK. But who can resist that key! Both equally gorgeous covers! My vote is a draw (I know, I suck) lol.

Like Vanessa, I'm totally stuck on this one too!  I love the US cover because of the contrast between the old and the new.  It's so unique and has a great, vintage feel to it.  On the other hand, I have a think for antique keys so I'm totally {hearting} the key on the UK cover.  Grr...decisions, decisions!

What do you guys think?
We need a tie-breaker here.

I'm totally not one to talk about this. I did an entire project about the design of the US version. I love it, but I also love the enigmatic nature of the UK...

This is one instance where I just love both of them. If I HAD to choose, I think I'd go with the UK... But that's a hard choice.

Ugh, what a tough choice. They are both AWESOME. But, I think the UK one is better. I think it better fits the story, which I just read last week (so it's fresh in my memory! LOL).

I'm going with the UK cover on this one ladies. I love antique keys.

Booklady said...

I'm going to have to say the UK one. That key is fantastic.

Tesni said...

The UK cover, probably. I don't really like faces on the covers of books, plus that key is just so pretty.

ChrisS said...

I love the UK version with the key.

I prefer the UK version, which is sitting on my shelf! I adore this book. <3

As much as I do like the US cover, I am a sucker for old keys like that.
But I have an ARC of the US so I might just have to buy the UK one so I can have both ;p

Britta said...

both of these are gorgeous! But I like the U.S cover because it is more unique.

Liz. R said...

I think I'm gonna go with the UK one - it's simple, but I really like the key against the plain background.

Estella said...

I think I would have to choose the UK cover.

BLHmistress said...

Devan said...

US has my vote!

Kylie1403 said...

I LOVE the UK version with the Key, it would attract me more

Ashley @ Book Labyrinth said...

The US one is a pretty cover, for sure, but... THAT KEY!! Definitely the UK one for me. I remember the first time I saw the UK one I think I almost gasped. I have this thing for old keys and key necklaces, so I definitely do prefer that one.

Alyce said...

I have to say that I like them equally too.

Missie said...

I have to go with the U.K. cover. I've never liked the U.S. cover. Something about it.... make me lose interest in reading.

I'm weird.

Erika said...

Ooh I can't decide! I think I am leaning towards the UK version simply because I have the other one and am used to it, lol

US :)

Christie - The Fiction Enthusiast said...

UK but it was close :)

BooksforCompany said...

Being honest, neither would make me want to read it as l don't really like historical books and both these make the books look historical.
Probably USA though =)

Paige said...

I would probably say the US one just because I haven't seen the UK one up until now.

I am going with the UK.. I love covers that do not have to use models.lol I have problems!!

caittorr said...

There is NO QUESTION here for me, the UK cover wins hands down with a bullet!! The antique key is gorg, and the background has a timeless elegance to it. I want to read this book based on the cover alone. The US cover I wouldn't give a second glance.
