I absolutely hate it when characters on the cover do not look as they're supposed to look. It's not just about skinniness/fatness, it's everything. When a hero is a brunette but the cover designer makes them blond - or when it is stated that their eyes are blue, but they're green on the cover. Or when they're short instead of being tall. It looks like the designer and the publisher neither liked the book nor read it properly.

My sympathies, OP. Although I have no idea what this book is.

/only slightly on topic

You know, I don't think I've ever seen "short when they should be tall." I see the reverse all the time, though. :/

Do not even get me started on the copy of Dawn by Octavia Butler that I checked out of the library. I wanted to throw it across the damn room--not because of the contents, of course, but because of HOW BADLY the cover image did not match the main character.

My favorite book series does this to the point where the author has made a point of mentioning that the protagonist does not, contrary to the cover art, "do" hats.

[dreemyweird]

What series is this?..

[leikomgwtfbbq]

Probably the Dresden Files. I know he's always pictured with a hat on the cover, but it's mentioned in some book or another that he hates hats and looks stupid in them.

[mechanosapience]

The series is the Dresden Files.

Uh... the secret is an image of the book cover, with the author's name and the title in bright pink.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure they meant that they had never heard of it before now and know nothing about it, not that they lack basic reading comprehension. Although you might?

[(Anonymous)]

My reading comprehension's fine. I just don't assume that everyone else's is. That's a bit cynical of me, but maybe I've been reading fs comments too long...

It looks like the designer and the publisher neither liked the book nor read it properly.

I'm pretty sure they don't? I mean, just based on covert art vs story for, like, 99% of everything published. Ditto for whoever writes the summary blurbs. I suspect they're told a basic premise and go from there, probably with a small amount of time to work with so that they couldn't give the books a good read even if they were so inclined.
