The publisher of T.C. Boyle's When the Killing's Done, Bloomsbury, got in touch with me after I posted my book review of the book on another website where I write about what I read. They asked that I consider adding the trailer of the book to my review. The concept of trailers for books fascinates me. I included the one I had seen for Super Sad True Love Story in my review of that book and commented on how, while entertaining, it had absolutely nothing to do with the book.
I found this trailer to be pretty good. I think it captures the tone of the book well. The actors they use for the characters of Alma Takesue and Dave LaJoy resemble very much how I pictured them. Not exactly but close enough. The trailer focuses on one particular scene of the book and has some content that is not suitable for children.
Your thoughts? Are book trailers goofy? A good way to capture people's interest who might not be into reading? Something else?
