Dude I saw this in my high school library and almost didn't read it.
Found this cover though, it really emulates the emotions I gain from the book.
Now I have this hardcover copy with a thing to slide it in and rad cover art, I think it's signed too.
Uncle gave it to me, the man is a based reader.

You're right, it's more or less on-point with a lot of modern works, save for some additions he couldn't have known about. Fun to look at the book as a kiddy diorama, though, featuring an allosaurus attack.

You just confirmed I'm right because you cracked me up.

Imagine that fat Bilbo/Costello addressing his traveling companion loudly, impatiently: "HOB-BIIITT!!!" a la the old Warner Bros. cartoon spoofs:

This is probably too specific for younger anons but if you'd seen the cartoons, you'd understand.

Nice cover, looks like Tolkien's own art style. Note also the absolute geographical accuracy: it's morning and they're traveling east, and indeed the sun's position is exactly right for that.

Chapter 10 intro: "The day grew lighter and warmer as they floated along. After a while the river rounded a steep shoulder of land that came down upon their left. Under its rocky feet like an inland cliff the deepest stream had flowed lapping and bubbling."

What in the fuck, a naked alien babe? The only aliens he meets are basically fucking angels in thick robes who lecture him on philosophy before flying away.

Least they could do is put some skimpy loli Dorcas on there if that's their angle

"I didn't faint I had a flashback." Bryce defended himself quickly to show he was obviously telling the truth.

This is an example of the subtleties of the authors characters. Not even Carver had such nuance. It's almost transcendent in how it manages to simultaneously reveal a relationship of sibling animosity and also say so little. It is so artfully crafted that I might have missed the overwhelming theme that Rhyce is so desperate to be thought of as honest that even when Flashbird is about to kill his girlfriend (astounding plot honestly) he makes efforts to prove hes telling the truth.

Masterful.

Actually, yes they will. By employing a quality designer (and paying them to take their time on it) or getting the rights to quality artwork they would be paying more money.
The fact that they are competing in English language markets pretty much guarantees they have to have a picture on the cover, especially because they don't deal in the avant garde.
