Judging A Book By It's Cover, Double Take: Glass Houses

I've heard nothing but good things about this book, and have it on my shelf to be read. Here's the cover:


I don't know why, but there's something about this cover that just puts me off. Maybe it's the stereotypical goth girl, the odd mixture of colors, or the weird font. Here's another cover that I found to compare this too:


I like this one better. The colors go better together, the girl on the cover is less-for lack of a better word-stereotypical, and I like the house more. The font's much better, too. But, I feel like they're so different that only one sticks to the book. So I'll probably have a different opinion after I read the book. What do you think about them, and which do you like more?
