The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion seems to be one of the break out books of 2013. There are some nay-sayers out there, but I feel pretty comfortable about recommending this book to just about anyone. Also, I thought this would be a good chance to tie-in with Katie and Fellowship of the Worms‘ group reading of The Rosie Project.
I like all the covers to The Rosie Project. I do have a favorite, but I am drawn to all of them because of the colors and clean look. What do you think?

I ordered “The Rosie Project” earlier this week and my copy arrived today. Yay! Really looking forward to reading it.
I think I like the Canadian cover the best although I agree that all look great. The German translation has the Australian cover design btw.
So which one’s your favourite then?
I can’t reveal which is my favorite just yet. I don’t want to influence anybody. I think internationally, the australian cover has been picked up the most.
I have a hard time voting until I’ve read a book, I feel like I want to choose the one that goes with the story best! This is interesting, though…I think I’ve only seen the middle two until seeing your post.
But you have to vote! Think about which one you’d be most likely to pick up.
I really like the Canadian and US versions. I think because I have the US one, well did have until my mom took it back to the UK with her. I love the color on the Canadian cover. The UK one, I mean I get it (because I read the book) but it would probably be my least favorite. I feel like if I didn’t know what the book was about, I wouldn’t buy it with a lobster on the front.
The thing that’s weird about the lobster on the cover is that THE DINNER by Herman Koch had a very similar cover in the UK.
Interesting! I’ve yet to read The Dinner so no opinion at the moment about the lobster but I suppose it must make sense. Although it is confusing when 2 very different books have similar covers.
I’m going with US buuuuuuut I did read it on my Kindle so I didn’t see any cover while I was reading 😀
I love the Canadian cover because that’s what I have. Although I do think that it captures the essence of the story. It for sure draws people to it. The lobster on the cover of The Dinner I don’t love. The Canadian cover of that (I assume it’s the Canadian one) with the scorched table cloth? Way better.
Yaaaaaaaaaay Rosie! 🙂 I think I have to go with the Lobster cover. Don’s lobster salad recipe had me drooling. Plus, lobsters are funny looking, and make me giggle. Everybody loves a crustacean.
Everyone loves a crustacean – but me. That might be my least favorite one! But it takes all kinds…
I like them all, but I voted for the UK cover. Not sure if that is just because I’m familiar with that one though.
I think everyone is voting for the cover they’re most familiar with, which is interesting in and of itself.
I chose the lobster one because I LOVE LOBSTERS! Just sayin’.
I love, love the UK cover with the little lobster. My second favorite would be the Canadian version. I don’t really like the Australian one at all. I need to read this book!!
Am slightly ashamed that I have un patriotically voted Canadian! Am now likely to be victim of hate campaign by The Daily Mail here! Saw this book next to till when bought a Valentines card (late night on 13th!) – I just thought it was yet another cook book so ignored it – it was on offer if you bought a Valentine Card! Am kicking myself now! Am now very bitter that they didn’t put a bike on the UK cover like the Canadians……..?!
I haven’t read the book yet but I love the first cover.
That’s my favorite too.
Great choice for Cover Wars! I am much fonder of the Canadia version. The US cover is too Valentiney.
I prefer the US cover because of its bright red color. I like the typograpy of the US cover, as well as that little bike that is so Professor Don Tillman 🙂
I had to go with Australia because, being autistic and much like Prof Don (but not nearly to the same degree of OCD), seeing the person helps me to identify with him.
The Australian cover is my second favorite, but I like the colors in the Canadian one better.
I have never heard of this book before AND I picked my favorite before looking at the poll/country of origin. Once again, I picked the UK cover!
Doesn’t the UK cover remind you of the UK cover for The Dinner. The whole lobster thing…
I just got this book on my Nook Color (so, really the cover doesn’t show much) and I live in the US, so I have the second one, but I love the Canada one ! However, I’ve heard this is a bit of a love story, so the US one tells you a bit more about the books contents.
