Intriguing enough for me to Google the first line, and check out the book on Amazon, and add it to my wish list too! Very interesting capture, and I suspect will dovetail neatly with the plot of the book.

This truely gives the impression that the novel was written at this desk. A wonderful pairing of objects so suited for this challenge and the book that you chose. I really like this image and hope it does well overall. A 9 from me!

I really like this image a lot! It is perfectly suited to the challenge topic and very creative. I'm not sure how you added another hour to the clock so seamlessly, but it works and the eye at the center of the image is just creepy! I gave this a 10 which is a rarety for my votes. I hope it will do well with the other voters too!

The thumbnail intrigued me.... I opened the image and I am blown away! Fabulous idea and terrific execution! I'm stuck on how you put the name Pinocchio on the side of the box???
