This is the original "Lord of the Flies" book cover. It's very old-fashioned because this cover has a pencil sketch like drawing.  Also the for the majority they used one color frequently which is this dreadful yellow color. If you look at this cover 2 inches away you still have to look closer cause the cover is so busy, it's hard to understand immediately on whats happening. There are trees and bushes in the same color that it's hard to distinguish the kids in the cover.  Over all this book cover looks outdated just on how this cover looks. Most people don't necessarily grab every book they see and read couple pages about it, they quickly judge the book on how the cover is presented, unfortunately this cover is not really eye-catching.
