US // UK
Eh... I'm not really a big fan of either of these covers, though I own them both. As much as I love the actual book (my name's in it, i'm pathetic -- enough said), the UK cover is pretty dull, even in person. I think there's too much black. The US one makes me think of a TV show or movie, though it is marginally better.
So, I'm in the middle this week, with a slight lean to the US side. How about you?

I think US. I wouldn't pick up the UK cover.
The UK one is dull and in the US one there's something really strange about the girl's chest. I'm like you - marginally prefer the US one.
Ew usually the UK cover rocks my socks but this time it's bad :/
First thing I've thought about UK cover: UGGGHHHH xD
OMG, Keren is right xD!
What's up with girl's chest??
It looks like she's got a weirdly long neck OR very low-slung boobs.
Nope, I don't like either that much but if I had to choose I'd go with the US one.
The UK one is so bland. DD: I'd pick the US cover.
I completely dig the UK cover! Odd man out, I suppose. It's kind of X-Files-ish.
Definitely the US cover for me. Although, at the back of my mind, I've always kind of thought that girl on the US cover looks pregnant... and yet, I don't think she's meant to be. Slightly odd photo. I get the impression that the UK one is trying to appeal specifically to boys.
don't like either of them and wonder why they had such a hard time finding a cover that fit such a great book
I'm with Bookgeek. This book sounds great but the covers are so so.
I'm pretty sure that the UK cover is pretty close to the ARC cover of the US version. Different colors, but the layout is the same. That being said, GONE was one of those rare books that I knew nothing about and yet picked up... although I'm pretty sure that was because of its bulk (I like big YA books, what can I say? hehe). The US versions lack any connection to the plot or characters, although the different color schemes (HUNGER is orange-y) are pretty cool.
I've seen this book so many times in Waterstones and Borders, but that cover puts me off, its a shame really. Maybe i should be kind and give it a shot : )
Yikes--both are pretty bad! The UK one is so boring--how disappointing. So I guess I'd say US, because it makes me wonder what's gonna happen...
I actually prefer the UK one this time! I like it's simplicity and the neon green on the black looks great.
I also don't like either one but the US cover characters look a bit plastic to me...
UK without a doubt, the US ones seems like teens from the early 90's.
UK definitely! It looks dark and mysterious. The US one seems like one of those books that gets a film adaptation cover (cheesy!). I'd not look at the US cover twice. I want to image the characters' appearances for myself too.
