I also prefer the US title and cover. It makes me ask the question what in the world is this book about. The other doesn't.

It's just three random words. Can I have something better in the next twenty minutes to take into the meeting?"<br /><br />I do love the level of straight-talking from her - Krystyna Green at Little,Brown (Constable).

Tree. Person is clearly the perfect title and the cover works very well with the reveals in the book.<br /><br />Having read the book, I understand The Weight of Angels as a title and don't really mind it. I just prefer the US. As for the UK cover, it too is lovely, but pretty generic in this case and not nearly as evocative of the novel. <br /><br />Enjoy launch day today and again in a few weeks!

Can't wait for September, this one sounds so deliciously creepy.<br /><br />On the covers, I like the US version best; it best conveys the kind of book I think it is. The title change is interesting. Why and how for both titles? I get the House. Tree. Person. one, but not why it was changed from The Weight of Angels. Or why TWOA in the first place. Or is that part of the mystery? Your titles usually become clear somewhere in the story, like an extra puzzle for the reader.Karen in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002794561817071780noreply@blogger.com
