Typically a trailer for anything whether it’s a video game,
movie, book, or sporting event gives brief background information, a slight
summary, but never reveals the ending. I
like to think of trailers as the ultimate definition of, judging a “book” by
its “cover.” Within two short minutes or so, I know if what I am watching is
worth investing my time into the entire contents the preview is revealing.
Until now I was pretty much unaware trailers about books were a “thing.” Books/Novels,
in my opinion, are much more difficult to advertise and describe in a trailer because
they are very complex and time consuming.
An effective trailer, one which reveals the most appealing themes of the
book, would be successful in attracting readers.
