There is something about it that just, for lack of a better word, *pops*. It makes you take notice. As I was in a hurry both times, I didn't have time to read anything about it, but almost bought it with my decision based entirely on that cover. Since hearing about the actual book, I will definitely buy it next time I see this cover.
