It just peeved me sometimes to see a line from a big-time media review that really didn't provide anything more than repetitive one-liners.<br/><br/>Example:<br/><br/><i>"King at his Best...A Winner!"<br/><br/>"Horror at an unflagging pace...scary!"<br/><br/>"Vintage King...Breath-taking...awesome!"<br/><br/>"Terrific!"<br/><br/>"Hits the jugular...King's most disturbing horror yet!"</i><br/><br/>Those were from 5 random King novels I just grabbed off the shelf above my desk. All cover quotes from the NYTimes. And all completely interchangeable, it doesn't even matter what the titles are because I would almost guarantee that every King novel has a quote identical to these.<br/><br/>But now I do pay attention to the quotes because I'm seeing more and more authors and even bloggers being quoted on book covers and that simply rocks!! I used to always ignore cover quotes on books. It just peeved me sometimes to see a line from a big-time media review that really didn’t provide anything more than repetitive one-liners.

Example:

“King at his Best…A Winner!”

“Horror at an unflagging pace…scary!”

“Vintage King…Breath-taking…awesome!”

“Terrific!”

“Hits the jugular…King’s most disturbing horror yet!”

Those were from 5 random King novels I just grabbed off the shelf above my desk. All cover quotes from the NYTimes. And all completely interchangeable, it doesn’t even matter what the titles are because I would almost guarantee that every King novel has a quote identical to these.

But now I do pay attention to the quotes because I’m seeing more and more authors and even bloggers being quoted on book covers and that simply rocks!!
