Why we like/dislike it: Last year (or the year before), I was hugely impressed with the new modern look Jackie Collins’s publisher had given her. Poor Little Bitch Girl’s cover appealed to me, it was fresh, funky, modern and it undoubtedly attracted many (younger) Chick Lit fans to pick the book up. So I must admit, the cover for Goddess of Vengeance seems to have taken a massive step back. There’s nothing inspiring about the cover that would make me, at 21, pick up my first Jackie Collins novel. There’s nothing to it. No colour, very drab, just plain boring. The only saving grace that I can see is that it matches my mother’s older Jackie Collins books. But that’s not really enough. I’d glance straight over this cover, it wouldn’t catch my attention at all. If I was going to buy this book, I’d buy the American cover which has brought Jackie’s books bang up to date. This one, however, is stuck in a time warp. Which is unfortunate. The only people who will probably buy this, will be die hard Jackie fans, I don’t personally think the casual Chick Lit fan would pick this one up with so many other stunning books out there.
