Covers in the World: Turtles All the Way Down

English, English, Romanian:
White and orange or orange and white? The difference doesn't matter much to me, but I have to say I slightly favour the second version (with the orange background). I like the overall cover style, though. It's clean, simple, and somehow original.
I may also add that yellow is a wonderful colour and Romania did GOOD in changing the colours.

German, Swedish, Indonesian:
Wow... that German title tho! Has a bit of a punch to it.
And can we talk about the Swedish cover? I don't find it aesthetically pleasing, but I still don't dislike it??! Muchos confused.
The Indonesian cover is rather sad. I feel that it's a big contrast to the other covers so far, and I'm not sure if it's got me convinced.

Portuguese, Persian, Polish:
Some more orange covers! I really like the Portuguese cover. I think it's cute and attractively colourful. Well done!
I can't, unfortunately, say the same for the other two. They look a bit cheap and boring, both of them. If I saw these in a bookshop, I'd dismiss them quickly, I think. These two are not for me :(

Russian, Serbian, Hungarian:
I love this theme! All of them have gone for turtle spirals, and I think that's cool! The Hungarian cover is the winner for me in this group, but I also like the Serbian one.

Slovenian, French, Persian:
Slovenia... what happened? Where did you go "aha, let's use this cover that looks like a children's colouring book cover" and thought that was a good idea? This cover isn't necessarily disastrous, but it should not be on this book.
The French and Persian covers, on the other hand, are quite nice. I wouldn't mind owning those.

Macedonian, Czech:
Well, wow. These two had to be put together, if only to show what a bad cover looks like next to a really good one. Czech cover; I love you. Macedonia... maybe try to learn something from Czech Republic?
