4 of the best book trailers

Here are four of the best book trailers of the past several years.

-

2. 'Leviathan' by Scott Westerfield

This young adult book by Westerfield is a reimagining of World War I. The book's hero is Prince Aleksander, son of the assassinated Archduke Ferdinand and the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. The trailer's dramatic score and beautifully drawn figures convey the story as well as its fantasy/historical feel. Especially memorable is the great map of Europe that transforms at the trailer's beginning.
