Cover Compare: World War Z

Taking a break from the YA cover compares to talk zombies. World War Z is an awesome book that I highly recommend. Just don't expect it to be like the movie, which is totally different, but just shares a name. Anyway, on to the covers, because there's a lot!

There's a lot! Most of them are fairly text-based, which I like. I'm partial to the English Version 1 because that's the one I have (and got signed by Max Brooks). My other favourite is the Portuguese cover. There are three that stand out as being the worst by far for me. The Russian Version 1 looks soooo cheesy and bad. I would never buy this amazing book based on that cover. I also don't like the Thai cover. The pink is weird and the zombies look like demon monkeys. But the Italian cover. What is going on here?!?! I discussed it with the boyfriend, who is a huge Max Brooks fan, and we determined they look like aliens from a hoax video. Who are holding each other's lobster claws.

What do you think? Which is your favourite? Are you a fan of such text-based covers?

One of my all-time favourite zombie reads was World War Z by Max Brooks. I can't say I'm excited for the upcoming film though...
