Exceedingly Engaging

Any additional comments?

Paper Covers Rock grabs the reader's attention instantly. It is a story that questions the boundaries of friendship, forces the reader to examine his or her own conscience, and paints a vivid picture of the gray area that falls between what one knows is right and believes is wrong. It is by far one of the more thought provoking books of which I have listened, an outstanding display of teen literature at its best.
