I do like the cover because I think it's unique and catches ones eye, but I don't think it is the best representation for the storyline. The image of a woman-like figure's eyes and lips in the background does not really make a statement or intrigue one to read the book. The lighted up image of Gatsby's house on the corner does not capture ones attention that well, but in the storyline it is very significant. I think his house should be made more glamorous, big and the focal point on the cover. I also think there should be a more accurate image representing Gatsby and maybe one including Daisy, to represent how the book is about romance. What I do think the cover does a good job of is representing the sad mood of the story due to Gatsby's unhappiness with his life.
