book covers we...

My name is Cyn and each Sunday (not to mention Thurdays and Fridays) myself and my BBFF (the extra B is for book LOL) Ann from over at Romancing the Readers blog together. 

Today we are "spotlighting" books with covers we aren't crazy about. This is no reflection on the book itself- rather than our opinion about the cover. We also understand that many times the author has no control over the cover or title. We also typically won't offer much in the way of any explanation about our choices.

I have never read the book featured below. This is a re-issue cover but I think it's just TOO literal and kind of boring at that. It has plenty of 5 Star Reviews though so you can't always judge a book by the cover I guess LOL

The compelling novel that began Shirley Jackson's legendary career

Pepper Street is a really nice, safe California neighborhood. The houses are tidy and the lawns are neatly mowed. Of course, the country club is close by, and lots of pleasant folks live there. The only problem is they knocked down the wall at the end of the street to make way for a road to a new housing development. Now, that’s not good—it’s just not good at all. Satirically exploring what happens when a smug suburban neighborhood is breached by awful, unavoidable truths, The Road Through the Wall is the tale that launched Shirley Jackson’s heralded career.
