I read an edition that was published in Australia, with this cover (http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/27790000/27797369.JPG). I remember seeing the cover with the back of the girl in the see-through dress ages ago, but haven't seen it lately (I work in a book store).
I only borrowed the copy I read, so I can't quote from the back, but I distinctly remember feeling deceived! It's not that big a deal, since I probably would have read it whether it had claimed to be hilarious or not, but I guess I was a little disturbed that anyone would use that word in their top two or three adjectives when describing it.
