Art cover of the book

[MsH2k]

I found the cover scene hard to look at initially. I would turn the book over when I wasn’t reading it so I wouldn’t have to see it: such a horrific picture. After reading the book, I think it was an excellent choice for the cover. I became desensitized to the scene after a while (hmmm). It encapsulated Springer’s experience in Vietnam--a larger-than-life reminder of the atrocities back home when he was fighting for that same country.

I almost always judge a book by its cover. That being said, after seeing this artwork made me initially think it would not be a book I am interested in. I now know what the contents contain and I understand . However, if I did not read anything at all and just viewed the picture, then I would definately not be interested..

This book's cover, at the first glance, felt confusing to me. As I read the whole book, things gradually started to become clear. The cover beautifully shows different themes of oppression, mainly racism. I feel it is quite wisely illustrated.

At first, the cover was a little bit confusing, but after reading the book I think book cover portrays the content in the book mostly racism.

The book cover pass the idea of racism, being black is not a crime so when other people treat you bad for being the black. You should not be sad but feel very special.

The cover not quite correlates with the story. I agree that it depicts racism, but at first I don't realize that the narrative is about Vietnam War. I think it would be better if next time the author uses cover that really reflects the inside of the book (including war background with Asian/Vietnamese figure)

I liked the cover because I immediately knew the book would be about injustices and racism seeing that it was a black woman being clobbered.

Well this is a very sensitive cover to me as it portrayed racism during the Vietnam war. It clearly portrayed how black are treated as it shows a woman been beaten by a police man and a black man watches him.

I could tell a lot from the cover. It predicts what is going to be found in the writing. For example racism is evident. I think it is totally valid.

[Ify-babe]

I like the cover, most especially the color used. It portrayed the themes of the book in a summarized manner.

[Goodness C N]

The cover is just perfect. It depicts all themes present, which is basically racism. Although one may not necessarily know this from the start. It's a great one.

[Joseph Samaan]

the cover is little confusing. I didn't like that blue color. I think it should have more green color instead of that blue that gives impression that everything going around the outer space and not inside planet

[Rita Nuncia]

The cover explained one of main theme of the book very well which is racism. Where a black woman is being beaten and some people were watching including a black man. It doesn't only show the maltreatment given to blacks during the Vietnam War but also the fear and helplessness of blacks during that time.

[Pauline Parnell]

The cover at first glance does not clearly reflect the contents of the book. His experience is in Vietnam not America. It's misleading.

[Larisa Hristova]

The cover of the book gives a pretty good indication of what the book is about. Additionally, it shows the author's attitude toward the subject of the book quite clearly.
