The cover page does not imply the entertaining quality of this book. Seeing the coverpage, I thought it's a science fiction book with imaginary medieval world-building.

I honestly find it a bit generic, as it doesn't tell me much about the book itself. I agree with what some of you said that at first I thought it was a geography book, rather than a novel.

After reading the book, I think I came to the conclusion that the cover matches and is a good fit for the book. Initially, I felt the book title and the cover did not really convey the same message. I am talking about Quest.

This book, which is probably set in Africa, emphasizes the ideas of discovery and travel. The cover page is perfectly suited to the storyline. It provides a brief overview of how the plot is entirely linked to locations in Africa. Even though the book's cover page is entirely focused on literary art, the inside of the book is not really my style, so I wasn't all that enthused about it.

Honestly the book cover is very horrible when it comes to catching attention. Maybe it has some hidden meaning which I don't know about the country. It's maturity is quite okay.

I would have prefered that the cover page has a more catchy background color. The drawn map can still be used. The background color make me feel as if the book is a high school textbook. Doing the suggested adjustment would be better.

I am actually really found of the cover. It was ambiguous but yet intriguing enough that I still wanted to read the summary of the novel.

I like the cover of the book. Although using a map of Africa is a little cliched, it clearly connects to the story.

The book cover has a map on it, which makes you think the story is about travel or exploration, probably in Africa. The old-fashioned map design adds to the feeling of adventure and mystery, matching the title "Quest" really well.

I like the cover for this book. The use of an African map, while somewhat generic, obviously connects to the plot.

The book cover for Quest: Finding Freddie is intriguing, with its map-like design hinting at a thrilling adventure. However, the content within doesn't quite match the cover's promise of a pirate or treasure theme. While the story is undoubtedly suspenseful, and there is 'treasure' in its own way, it leans more towards a political thriller than an adventure expedition. The cover might mislead some readers into expecting a more action-packed, Indiana Jones-style adventure, which the book doesn't fully deliver.

Hi!
The book cover of Quest: Finding Freddie was very boring. Dark colors were chosen which made the cover look very dreary. Because of the storyline and the rich African, Jewish and political history, the book piqued my interest.
