Clever marketing of a book usually catches my attention before reading it: flashy titles, colorful covers, interesting images, and even the size of a book. Usually a book will need to grab my attention early in order for me to continue reading it. A book I read this summer, Bel Canto, certainly caught my attention within the first chapter, as it opened with an incredibly lavish party being overtaken by hostages. I was hooked from the first few pages and stayed that way for the remainder of the book. I am hoping that Motorcycle Diaries will be the same way.
I think that everyone first judges a book by the colors, title, and images of the book. This is the third blog I'm commenting on and both of the other people agreed with this. People judge books by the covers they have.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the cover and the title of a book is the first thing that catches my attention. The book that you mentioned also sounds very interesting.
