Catching Fire cover

I was just taking a break from revision, when what did I stumble across but the beauteous UK cover for Catching Fire!
What do you think? I think it has more character than the US cover, but I can't really work out what it's meant to be! Snow maybe? I think the purple is a nice touch though - it's definitely eye-catching.

  1. Well, you know I'm a huge sucker for UK covers, but I'm not sure how much I like this one. I like the Aussie (UK?) version of Hunger Games, but I still have to go with the simple symbolism of the US ones. Sorry! :)

  3. I like it, but not as much as the US one. I don't know why, but I keep thinking the background looks like a map. Weird!

  4. I cannot wait for this book. I'm dying to know what happens next. Oh and the cover is definitelt not what I expected. It's such a different colour scheme to what they usually are. Hmm... nevertheless Catching Fire will be awesome.

  5. I love it. I am dying (not literally) to read this book. But I really, really, really (x666) want it.

  6. Hmm, I think it's like a picture of grass or something that's been altered and made crazy colours. Not sure though, but it doesn't look like snow to me. (And I know snow.)

  7. It was nothing like what I expected, but the more I see it, the better I like it. I actually prefer it over the US one, which just seems a bit too close to the US Hunger Games. Also, I'm hoping it's prettier in person, like our HG is

  8. I likes it! The purple/white stuff makes me think of the sea or a river, when a boat has gone by - you know, the trail that the boats leaves for a few seconds before the water rushes back?

  9. I'm not sure, having bought the book I can say it doesn't really match with the Hunger Games cover. I was hoping there would be another choose-your own cover with Gale, maybe. Not sure aobut the purple... but let me tell you, the book is AMAZING. Still thinking about it.
