I'm going to go against the crowd here to say I don't think it's inappropriate to mention the cover in a review as part of the overall package. It _would_ be inappropriate (and ridiculous) to imply that the cover has a bearing on the text of the book or was controlled by the author, but I don't think Bourke does that. While they are gently mocking, neither description gives me a negative impression of the book - in fact I went into the body of both reviews with a smile.
