Did 'Ghost Face' on the cover make you want to read the book more or less?

I am inclined to read a book with such covers like this one. I know.. but, I just want to learn how the characters survived whatever predicament they had to go through. It kind of make me feel like I have added to my arsenal of defence. So yes I will read this book because of the cover.

I am inclined to read a book with not covers this one. I know learners are able to read,transact with what's inside,to enhance reading of this book covers are low literacy levels,thou it triggers a scarring mindset

That Ghost Face definitely made me put this book on the back shelf. I had no desire to read this book just because of the cover. I know I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but there are times that I can’t help it!

The cover was not as appealing to me as the title itself. It would have sufficed with just the title and author's name. I would still have been interested in checking it out.

No, I don't usually judge a book by its cover.Anyway the cover of the book would both attract and terrify readers according to someone's taste and fear.

Not really. Genre attracts me more.

The Ghost face somehow reduced my desire to read the book. I am not a fan of horror novels.

I think it made me want to read it more. But I thought it was more of a horror book than it is so it did give mixed signals in that regard.

Honestly, the cover looked more amusing to me than frightening or thought-provoking. The trope of a "masked killer" has been played out so often that the cover seemed more like a parody of the genre than anything.

I read the preview and didn't find it a very attractive book, but perhaps it gets better as one gets further into it.

You could give it a try. I had also misjudged the book before I began reading it. The moment I read the first pages, I felt the urge to read it more and I guess I will have to continue reading it to the end.

Yes, because it easily caught my attention.

Sounds interesting that for some the cover increased the desire to read the book while for others it made them not want to read it. The good thing is to give the book a try since we are advised also never to judge a book by its cover. This literally applies to this book.

The moment I set my eyes on the cover page, i developed bit of curiosity to learn of the book's content. I believe there and then it was an horror book and set myself on reading it considering it was a thriller fiction.
