UPDATE : Thanks for all friends and people who have like this review and commenting. Glad I can make you smile and laugh ^_^.
Black Dagger Brotherhood is masterpiece, and it will always be =)
My feeling right now :
Allright, this is the first book that start my love for BDB series, and when I know this book will be translated a year ago (at February 2010), I'm excited!!
Waiting 2-3 months later, no news...
Waiting 2-3 next months later, still no news...
And then at July, the publisher said that their try so hard to translated this books! Yeaaah, I'm waitiiiiiing...
Waiting, and waiting, they said this book wll be published at November, and then they decide to decline until December
I'm still waiting...
And then they said again, they decline it until March this year!!
Alright, still I'm waiting, and then when the cover for translated version is coming up :
I'm speechless and said :
IS IT A JOKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?????????????
What the f*ck with that cover !!!
.
.
.
Yeah, right =_="
I think if J.R.Ward know about this cover, she will go ballistic!!
For the publisher (in this case, GPU) : Thanks to make our dream ruined! You already destroyed this GREAT series with your awfully cover choice. It doesn't matter if you said that the story is great, the story is good. Yes, I know about that! But what with people that don't know about BDB?
They always buy a book based it cover!
Did you know what they're thinking when see this book at bookstore? They will think this is a book with "WTF Cover"!! and leave them!
Ahh, dunno if I want to buy this translated version or not!
Note : There are people said that the model at the cover look alike Keanu Reeves!!
No way, at last Keanu is sooo much better!! (Cut that crappy hair!)
I'll buy this book to know about the translated version, because my friends said this book lack of romance.. Huh? Really? Then, it make me more curious. Will show you all my "NEW COVER" after I bought this!
.
.
.
Which I'm not do it. The cover like a hot poker in my eyes *cries*

Mana covernya gk bisa diganti pula ama GPU...
Walopun gw blm pernah baca tp sumpah deh ini covernya bener2 terkesan kampungan.. Menyedihkan bgt utk buku yg notabene uda ditunggu2 banget ky yg satu ini..
gw tadinya bacanya mo beli bukunya ajja yg udah di translated. tapi klo kyk gini mah.. mikir2 lagi deh buat beli bukunya.. ilfillll
San dan Shelly : bayangkan perasaanku tadi pagi pas liat tuh cover
iya noh, udah nunggu lama, hasil akhirnya kayak gini
Emang bener jangan judge the book by its cover, tapi kalo covernya kayak gini, siapa juga yang ga bakalan males beli

Tidakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk..........
Slash macam mirip laki di cover tu lah. Maybe the cover designer thinks long hair, sunglasses and leather pants = Slash??? I agree... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Seriously, FUGLY cover!
Waw, jadi rame gini abis kutinggal

Agreed!!
Really2 FUGLY COVER that make my mood from this morning until now is
Err, kenapa jadi ada gambar Marc Anthony disini Jayne?
Daripada Marc Anthony, aku lebih suka Marc Hunter
Chiko, Mami Dian, Sweet, Mbak Lelyana, Videl, Mew, Zaizai, Momo :
aku deklarasikan hari ini sebagai "HARI BERDUKA NASIONAL" (buatku aja :p)
Ah, beli ga yah?
Jayne, like you said it's take a long time to love Julian :D, but I'm already love Marc from the beginning ^_^...Ohh, I see, they said the model cover is like Marc Anthony? =_=" and Slash too? =_="
The publisher said, that the cover is editor's responsibilities, because she assumed the editor is people who know everything about this book
Guess, she/ he (the editor, I mean) in a danger from a lethal attack from me...

No, I said the guy on the cover looks like Slash! LOL Such an AWFUL, AWFUL cover!!!Oh, yes, I was the same. I loved Marc from the beginning, too. With Gabe, I loved him at the beginning, then not so sure...then loved him VERY much! ^_^
Jayne, yes I know, that guy like a mix of Slash and Stevie Wonder (add Marc Anthony too)=_="
Teman2ku bilang covernya seperti tukang pijat atau orang buta! Dan aku tidak tahu, apa penerbitnya mau menarik ulang bukunya, kayaknya kok tidak mungkin +_+....
For Gabe, hmm, I still not love him, but we will wait and see :D (he more like "love'em and leave 'em" type)
Yun : cover vampire Lang, yang vampire playboy itu ya? [hmpfh]
Apa tu "tukang pijat"? *scratches head*Oh, Ren, trust me, you will LOVE Gabe! How far into Naked Edge are you? What page?
iya ren...huhuuuuu...drtd pagi masih shock...baru kali ini genre favorit q punya cover yg bisa dapat AWARD paling jelek!!!
Btw batallistic tuh artinya apa?Gw tuh udah bilang di milis ga bakalan beli d kec ada edisi revisi covernya dah...hahhahaha....
Udah ky si buta ky gini..sok mafia tp geje, udah gitu gaya covernya udah ky buku jadul tahun 60-70an.. jiahhhh.. udah ilfil duluan d liat nih cover.
Mendingan GPU pake cover yg hot, seronok-seronok, mesum-mesum dah drpd pake cover yg ini. Maybe klo pake yg tanpa sehelai kain pun masih pasti bakal gw beli tanpa diskonan dah...hahhahahha....
Lady Jayne *~*The Beach Bandida*~* wrote: "Apa tu "tukang pijat"? *scratches head*"Wait, does that mean "beggar", Ren? Macam yang orang buta yang kasiannya duduk tepi jalan minta donation kah?
Jayne : no, not beggar, tukang pijat is a people who do a massage for other people (dunno what the suitable term )Dan di Indonesia, para tukang pijat itu biasanya pakai kacamata hitam :p
For Naked Edge, I'm still at chapter 5, when Grandpa Red Crow killed (I know at my status, I'm already at page 150, I'm re-read again now, hehe^^)
Tacie : aku sering seh nemu kata2 Batallistic itu, apa yah,artinya, seperti dy marah banget gitu :p
Kalo gini mending covernya Violet kemana2 deh
Yun, percayalah, sampe sekarang aku pengen caci maki itu editor yang udah milih covernya

People who give massages wear sunglasses??? Like the people who give massage on the beach, is it? *bingung*
No no, I mean not like people who give massage on the beach, it's more like people who give a massage at salon or some place, they do that for health purpose :DAnd, there are a blind people that do massage to, and he usually wear sunglasses... It's why, when my friend look at the cover, they said "Cover modelnya mirip tukang pijat!" ^^
punya malah lagi d kirim...hikskkskssss....ayoooooo rame2 nangis...tp tadi pic lady bener2 bikin ngakakkkkk...hahhahhaa
yun : punya q kan kirimnya klo uda bejibun, hemat ongkir gt ceritanya. jadi blom tau d kpn sampe padaku. hicks.... belom terima aja uda pingin nangis, klo uda terima bukunya bakal nangis beneran nih...lady : bener, muirip sama pic slash. bedanya cuma slash rambutnya lebih panjang n mekar :))
In the US we call that hairstyle a mullet! Not a good look LOL. Great book though. Hope you'll try it anyway.
