Wednesday Cover Story: The Crash of Hennington
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
An example of a book I picked up solely because of the cover. It lept out at me - how could anyone miss these big and bold colours? The bright pink, offset by a softer band of blue, plus the contrasting yellow of the title - it all works brilliantly together. And then, once your eyes fall on the image, that simple yet odd juxtaposition of a rhino with the city as a backdrop is intriguing.
In fact, it is a very odd novel and it wouldn’t still be amongst ‘the chosen ones’ on my overflowing bookshelf at home. But it’s kept its place because I adore the cover (not to mention it adds a bit of flair to the shelf!)

The Slap , by Christos Tsolkias Lara: An excellent reading group choice as there’s much to discuss. Clever, yes. Would I recommend it? Not so sure. Very interesting subverting of characters but it’s taken me till around the middle of the book to start really getting in to it.
