So this dude has no originality then? Reinterpretations are rarely/never a good idea.

I like this quote, it's funny. Some guy's unique writing style that is exactly like another authors. Bloody brilliant.

Well, okay the quotes being put aside. The cover art is, mediocre, it has too much going on, at the same time extremely simplistic. The title looks like someone found a painting they liked and photo shopped the title on the cover. Something to the extent a child would do for a school project.

The too much going on, is that, well I'm assuming the guy being lifted from the tree is supposed to be the main focus point of the cover, however everything around stand out all at the same time. There is not an exact focus point.
