The Friday Face-Off is a meme originally created by Books by Proxy and now hosted over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare the different covers of a book with each week being a certain theme.

This week’s Friday Face-Off theme is a cover featuring a plane: “A ‘good’ landing is one from which you can walk away. A ‘great’ landing is one after which they can use the plane again.” For this theme I have gone with Airframe by Michael Crichton.

And the winner is… COVER B!

This was a simple pick for me. I’m not convinced many people will back me on this one, but it grabbed me. The lines draw the eye, and the aircraft made using negative space really worked for me. I love good use of negative space.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with my winner, or does one of the others work better for you? Let me know in the comments!

Next week’s theme is a cover depicting Hell: “The path to paradise begins in hell.”
