I am sold on the cover being really nice. I like the colors and style. I think the title is eye catching as well. I haven't read the books that the summary compares this one to. However, I am not big into this genre anyway, nor am I the intended audience age wise. Having read the summary/excerpt, I don't think this would be something i'd read on my own volition, but I found it interesting and possibly would be a better fit for a certain age group or fans of similar pubs/genres.
