Most likely some fantasy themed revolution story. I'm thinking the main characters are a clan of disillusioned Robin Hood-esque characters who are fed up with the tyranical government and decide to be its downfall.

Definitely science-fiction or post-apocalypse thriller. Good title!

Psychological thriller, or a story about the corrupted government.

I'm guessing a sci-fi or at least something about computers... it makes you think. Maybe something to do with stars and computers? I'd read the back.

(possible title for a work in progress.. seeing if it will work.)

Either something about aliens or kidnapping. Kind of a generic title, if you ask me.

It sounds like a comic book about homeless kids with superpowers. Either that or in a band. Wink

Makes me think of a woman who could play a cello or something really really well, and she's 16. She only played 8 days, maybe she was killed or something, but the eight days she played,she was somehow helping someone. I'd probably skim the back before buying it.

Maybe about a solar eclipse or something? Or about something that's the opposite of what it should be. (You know dark and sun, don't really connect, so...)
I don't know, it doesn't really give me an idea what it's about, so I may pick it up, but I think I'd probably go on to the next. Doesn't really attract me. Sorry Sad

Hmm, kinda cliche, it seems very unoriginal, if the cover art was good I'd read the blurb, will definitely be related to cars somehow.

Sounds like the story of some guy who has bad things happen then decides to chase after some dream he had when he was younger. I'd read it.

Teenage literature, for sure! A little...predictable, but still good!

I actually have no idea what this might be about. I may be guessing teen-fiction, but it could be something entirely different from that, too, so I'd probably pick it up out of curiosity.
