Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is one of my favorite books but I refuse to own a copy because all three cover options are terrible. Particularly the one that's just an outline of a hand with words. It's ugly and it doesn't remind me of the story at all.

I think I'm also just really sensitive to certain color combinations. I don't mind the artwork on A Court of Silver Flames, but I didn't buy a copy until B&N came out with the black edition. Gray and orange, with traffic-cone orange under dust jacket is just nauseating and I didn't want to see it on my shelves day after day.

The Kate Daniels covers are also pretty bad and put me off reading that series for a while. They used at least three different models for Kate, none of which look like her, and the art itself is like a bad photoshop job. They're not just tacky but dated snd I don't get why they never got a redesign. The French editions have beautiful artwork that fits the series so well. I'd buy English editions with those covers in a heartbeat.
