I usually don't just choose the book based on just the title. The looks and feel of the book draws me in. All Roses have thorns sounds like a relationship gone bad. The Scavenger's Daughter makes me wonder if it's more about the Scavenger or his daughter. It's like picking a movie do you want to watch a romance unwinding or a mystery between a father and his daughter. Personally I like the sound of All roses have thorns, but I'd have to see the cover.

The Roses one I would think would be a Harlequin Romance Type book. The other, romance but maybe not quite as soapy. Neither would turn my crank.

If I was just sitting down with these two books, one entitled "All Roses Have Thorns" and the other "The Scavenger's Daughter", and was committed to reading one of these books, the title wouldn't matter in the slightest. I would carefully read the summaries, maybe the first chapter and then decide which one I wanted to read first. However, if I were reading the titles out of a long line of books from a bookstore, the situation changes. I don't have to key into the intrinsic value of a book, as I am usually committed to doing so. If I see "The Scavenger's Daughter", I am going to think (and don't take this offensively) "Oh, great. Another cliche coming-of-age young woman's story." Not to say these stories don't have merit, but they usually have the same general plot. To half of the population, this title will make the book seem dry and forgettable. "All Roses Have Thorns" provokes thought; may make the peruser curious. It makes them think "I wonder what's to this book." Or make them prideful on the fact that they have figured out the cryptic sentence. Both are good. 90% of the people in book stores don't check the summaries of books to find out if the title holds any real significance. If a friend were to suggest me two books with these titles, I just wouldn't care what they were called.

Roses sounds like a romance novel and scavenger's daughter sounds like a fantasy or a horror to me. I would read the romance instead of Horror.

FIRST IMPRESSION Rose Thorns - Sounds too Bon Jovi Scav's Daughter - Nice ring to it ASSUMPTIONS Rose Thorns - Some attractive chick with a bad past or a dark side Scav's Daughter - Sounds like the introductory tale of an epic hero I'd be more likely to pick up Scavenger's Daughter

The first title sounds a bit too romantic for my taste and I might pass it by. The second sounds more interesting - more vengeful, maybe? Is that what you want? If it's a fairly serious and challenging book I'd go with the latter title. (By the way, all answers have a points button! lol.:)

Both titles are good and in some way each could be related to the other. All Roses Have Thorns---Everyones got problems. The Scavengers Daughter--The poor little girl with some incredible hidden talent, who everyone made fun of because of her fathers occupation. Or...maybe she seeks revenge for the towns ill treatment of her parent. As for reading, I'd have to read some short piece about each to decide. I tend to lean more towards nonfiction, with an emphasis on past military conflicts, First Nation history or organized crime.

Both describe a woman in relation to a man. Seriously.

I can see from the combo of the two it's about a girl overcoming something. The roses ones sounds more like she thoght she found "the one" but he's got something wrong with him that might be a major thing. As for scavengers daughter sounds a little more like she had to get from the bottom to find the guy who then has something wrong. I'd proabbly be more likly to read the second, It sounds more realistic & like theres more to it then just finding out someones not perfect.

"All Roses Have Thorns", because it implies that while there is cherishable things that are sought, it is the thorns that keep it in perspective to what is real. Careful with the "All" word though!

Scavenger's Daughter has an interesting ring to me. I wonder what she is like. Is she content with her lot? Does she want something more out of life, and if so, what is she willing to do to get more out of life? Is she beautiful? Homely? Considered bright, or dull? Is her father bitter and cruel? Or is he loving and kind, content with what he does? Do they have enough to eat with what they do to make money? Is there a Mother and siblings? Do the parents want more for their children? What time period is the story set in? Middle Ages? The 20's, the Depression? Where does it take place? Part of the key to a good story is to make the reader WONDER what will happen next...I wonder about the Scavenger's Daughter! All Roses Have Thorns, seems a bit trite to me. As I am well aware that most if not all Roses have thorns, both literally and metaphorically in life. it seems rather too OBVIOUS to me.
