Although the books weren’t scheduled to start shipping until December 1st, one lucky fan got his shipments from Amazon early and took some awesome pictures of the beautiful covers!!

    lol i agree with @hannah…why “adult?” Is it just because it’s a more minimal design so its like more professional looking?




  5.  

    I think i like the original covers better

    I don’t understand why they need adult covers in the first place! The story line should catch your eye, not a cover, not matter what age group!

    I dont get why these covers would be more “appealing” to adults than the other covers.

    Guys, the UK covers looked really…well childish before. These covers appeal to a wider audience. I love what they did with these covers and I love these books!

    What’s the difference between the US hunger games and the UK? Is the story different or is just the covers?

    MIGGIETOMGIRL: I own both the US and the UK copies. There is no difference in the stories nor the writing, just the language is British Enligsh and the covers are looking really… bad :D

    What do they cost?

    @Lucia Ellenwood Uzumaki
    What? Do you mean the English version is actually different to the original version? What would be the point of changing the story for “English” words? I thought I was reading the actual version.

    I understand that the original UK covers look a little more childish, but the UK always seems to do this. They make “Adult” Covers, like “this book cover is too childish for my adult needs.” Just read the book.

    What do the stickers say on the books say? “soon to be a major motion picture”??????
