US // UK
I really like both of these covers, but I think the UK one just beats the US. I prefer the image of empty land to the girl walking, though I like the UK's title font more. I'm also a fan of taglines, so I love the 'Our world ends tonight' text -- I think it fits the cover well.
I wonder why they abbreviated the author's name on the UK edition? Very strange!

Hmm, normally they use an author's initials when they think a woman's name will put off male readers, don't they?
I agree with you - I think I just about prefer the UK cover!
I've heard about this book and I really want to read it. I like both covers but I think the UK one is slightly ahead in my book ;)
UK!
I like the Uk one better.
uk is much more alive, but I still like the us one, Ich Weiss nicht (idk) why...Practicing my german :-D
It's more formidable...

I guess I am the odd one out here because I like the US better. I think it's darker and more mysterious. And I don't really like the font or the effect of the moon coming towards the earth in the UK one.

I actually kinda like the US one better. The only thing I would take from the UK cover is the font. I really like that.
I love the UK one. The image of the girl walking along with the moon looming unnaturally over her is one that I really like. I have a UK copy, but I'm pretty sure it says 'Susan Pfeffer' rather than Susan Beth or SB Pfeffer.
I really like the US one. I just love the setting. I wish it had the tagline, however.
I like the UK one, too. I loved this book and can't wait for the third one.
Hmmm - I'll torn as I really like both of them - I think if I had to choose I'd go for the US one - I like the simplicity/isolated feel of it. I also prefer the US cover for The Dead and the Gone. Have you seen the cover for the new book? - looks really good and I can't wait!(http://susanbethpfeffer.blogspot.com/2009/07/we-have-cover.html)
Hm... I think I like the US one more! I like the moon off to the side rather than in the center.
I LOVE the title font of the UK book! It is so cool looking! I like the US cover image more though.
They're both quite similar, but I think I agree with you. I like the UK cover just a little bit more.
Both are amazing, but I like the UK cover best and how it has the girl on it. But the coloring on the US cover is very pretty.
Love the UK cover this time - text is gorgeous!
As for the name - it is rather typical for publishers to use initials for women writers. After all, what boy wants to be caught with something *gasp* feminine.
*rolls eyes*
Yes I have to agree that i like the UK version better, and the text is nicer. x.

I've just reserved it!
I'm on the UK side again!!
I prefer the U.S. one - the moon's looming so large with nothing to distract you from it. I love her moon books! Can't wait to read the next one.
As for the initial, thing, it is strange that they're using them in the UK but not the US with this book. I use mine but it wasn't the publisher's idea at all. I've just wanted to be C.K. since the Cary Grant character C.K. Dexter Haven in The Philadelphia Story and realized I actually have the right initials for it :)
