Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme being hosted by Books by Proxy .   This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite books covers.  The rules are fairly simple and can be found here.  Each week, following a predetermined theme choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite.  Simples.  This week the theme is:

Like One, That on a Lonesome Road

A cover which features a road

I thought about this for a while and came up with a few choices but I’ve decided to go with The Fellowship of the Ring by JRRTolkien.

I quite like all of these to be honest for different reasons.  I like the first one that clearly shows the fellowship heading off into a mysterious forest.  The second one succeeds in having an epic feel with gandalf and his cloak flaring out.  The third image is very peaceful and rural, a perfect picturesque countryside – just before the darkness moves in!  And, finally a rather darker cover that reflects the seriousness of the Fellowship and their mission in I love the colours.

Difficult to choose this one but I would have to go for the first – I just love all the detail and the fact that the characters seem to be travelling on a road that is set to become darker!
