Just some cover fun...

This is a new author and new book this year I've been seeing.  And I have to say I like the sounds and looks of it.  But..... the cover has me searching.  You know how sometimes things just strike you funny, well this cover did.  But, not in a bad way!

Don't laugh.  Well, okay, you can laugh as I giggle about it.

The cover reminds me of a few people mixed together.  What cover is it?

And who does he remind me of... Well, I'll share. :) I had to ask my husband, who is not a book person, to look at the cover and tell me who he thought of.  And he came up with an actor, but couldn't really place who the guy was.  He agreed kind of that he remind him of the same guy I thought of, but that there was someone else he couldn't think of the name of.

For some reason this picture struck me as a cross between:

 
AND
I don't think particularly this genie, the genie, but a genie.

I don't know what it is!

I think I relate The Rock, Dwanye Johnson, because of his stance and body language.  Even the look of determination in his face.  But his face and shaved bald head reminds me of a genies!  The shape and all.

But, from what I'm hearing.  This guy sounds like The Rock kind of character!
LOL!

Okay, laugh as you wish.

Do you have any covers that struck you strange?
Do you think this man reminds you of anyone?  Maybe you can think of who the actor was my husband was thinking (although he didn't even tell any movies or anything to figure out who it was).

I do think I need to get this book on my next order. :D

  6. That's too funny! He DOES look like a cross between the Rock AND the genie in Aladdin!

  7. Yeah, that is a strange cover. Other than the fact that the guy's face looks kind of odd there is also something feminine about his pose. I would not pick up this book based on the cover alone, but perhaps it will turn out to be a really good book.

    Simcha - I might have put the book back, but for some reason the cover has stuck with me, because of the strange rememberance to the Rock and Genie. But the details of the book sound good. Thank you!
