Book 2 "Keeping Faith" Review 2: Cover Talk

I talked a little bit about the cover of Keeping Faith in the reflection. It is a very simple cover, but it does its job. It accomplishes the task of relating to the actual story. It almost connects to the story too literally. I think some covers are successful when they lead to individual reader interpretation. This book definitely targets a certain audience. But I think the author, Jodi Picoult, attracts the female audience to begin with. She does not even try to appeal to a different group. She knows the majority of people who read her book are women, and she sticks with it. The cover of Keeping Faith is pink and has a flower texture on it. The texture is very unique and adds a special touch.  Like many books, this one has multiple covers. The one I have is my favorite. The other ones include your typical picture of a little girl. These covers seem to be the stereotypical Jodi Picoult style. She might even use the same little girl in the covers of other books. On my particular cover, the emphasis is less on the little girl and more on the religious aspect of the book. This story has so many different pieces that could be considered important. I believe it is possible to make ten covers of this book. By the looks of it, there are at least five differing covers. The book I own also has a false jacket. It is paperback but it has the extra inside flaps that provide more information. That is also a unique touch. It is like saying the book is classy but it is also practical. I think all the covers do their jobs. It would be hard to create another one because there are already so many of them. Overall, the story is stereotypical which often leads to a stereotypical cover.
