{Cover Wars} The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Hello and welcome to Cover Wars where covers don’t mind getting down and dirty as long as you pick favorites. Sorry for the delay guys, last time we had Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff a steampunk japanesse representative with a fierce woman  front and center.

The winner of the Stormdancer show down is….

The U.S. Cover!!!

Now that we’ve all basked on the glory of the winning cover we can move on to this week’s cover wars, has you all know the Book Thief will be out on theater’s in the U.S. I thought it would be a nice occasion to take a look at the faces this book has had. In case you haven’t heard about The Book Thief before here is the book blurb:

It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.

Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.

In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.

Ok, now that we all know a bit about the book, I would like to say that we are going to center in 3 covers.

First up ladies and gentlemen we have one of the creepiest covers I’ve seen in a long while, a terrifying dance that evokes all sort of feelings on you (or atleast on me).

Up next we have the most popular cover before this book was turned into a movie, a simple and clean cover that makes itself memorable.

Now we have the newest cover, the one that marketing forces books that are turned into movies to transform into.

All the covers are now out in the open and ready for you to pick a favorite, so please share if there is a cover that caught your attention the most or if there is one that is just begging you to give it a place in your bookshelf, please remember to vote on the poll or leave a comment.
