I think they're more for buzz from book people than anything else though! BTW thanks very much for the kind words you left on my blog! <3Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246220242273461143.post-31908694567779061672011-12-26T02:58:15.515+00:002011-12-26T02:58:15.515+00:00That Before I Fall book trailer does look great - ...That Before I Fall book trailer does look great - and I'm not someone who usually reads YA!<br /><br />I've had a love hate relationship with book trailers. At their worst, I feel as if they have nothing to do with the book they're marketing at all (sorta' like cell phone & car commercials). At their best, they can completely sell me on a book by capturing the essence of the story visually without resorting to a basic plot summary. <br /><br />Book trailers tend to be so short - and I think it's such a new medium that it's still not quite "there" yet. One that really sold me was for a Canadian novel. You Comma Idiot. I wanted that book because of the trailer. (I included the link in my gravatar). It has the right balance - because I think too often designers equate book trailers with movie adaptations.BookSexy Reviewhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ06vNDt7E8noreply@blogger.com
