The HangoverBy A CustomerA Review by NickBrad rode home with his best friend Alden Whitlock, who was the son of a judge and one fo the richest families in the entire town.

  2. Even though Brad doesn't remember it, he has a feeling that something happened on the car ride home. There is no proof on the car, but Brad thinks that Alden hit something on the way home. And he knows that it was something living, but now its not anymore. Brad uses some detective clues to find out but when he comes up with nothing, a woman comes into town and is looking for her lost father. Her father is homeless and left her and her mother when she was a little child. Brad and Ellen find out evidence and convict Alden.I liked a few things about this book, and yet there were a few things that I didn't like about this book. I liked how this book started out and how Brad had a strange feeling in his gut about the previous night. Also, I liked How Brad was a well known guy and his parents were out of town. And, His Best friend was Alden Whitlock, the son of a judge and in one of the richest families in the town. But, I didn't like how the ending was predictable and sort of boring. There were ups and downs in the book, but I liked more things then I disliked. This book was pretty realistic and seemed like it could happen to some people I know.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery, but doesn't make you think too much about what next is going to happen. It has a really good beginning but a satisfactory ending. Overall, I think this book is a fairly good read but isn't the best it could've been.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. How Drunk Driving can lead to a lot of trouble!By A CustomerA Review by BreeAlden Whitlock and Brad accidentally hit a homeless man while driving drunk on their way home. Brad returns to the crime scene the next day to find a blood stained watch with the initials P.H.S. engraved on the back. Ellen Hansen came into town to visit her father. When Brad and Ellen meet its love at first site. Brad is now challenged to tell the truth to Ellen knowing she might leave him. He could also hide it from her knowing things might or might not work out. Either choice could result to loss and grieving for both of them. I enjoy reading mystery books of any sort. "Coverup" appealed and related to me in a way I least expected. Drinking and driving is a common problem with many teenagers. It shows how fast a simple situation can change from fun to drastically serious! "Coverup" is a real page-turner! From the beginning it starts our so incredibly descriptive that you are begging for more time to read! "He awoke in a cold sweat, pale and trembling, his eyes wildly trying to pierce the black night."I would strongly recommend this book to anyone that doesn't enjoy reading. It is a fairly short book that races by page after page. After completing the book I looked back on it asking myself if I actually read that book. "Coverup" gets you hooked on reading. The vocabulary can easily be understood too. Bennett's writing is clear and precise. I enjoyed this book and so will you!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

"Quick and fun with a satisfying resolution."VOYAAll Brad remembers about that party was that his friend Alden Whitlock drove him home. He also has the nagging feeling that while he was sleeping in the passenger seat, Alden hit something--or someone. Alden and his father, a powerful judge, deny that anything took place.

Suddenly Brad is forced to examine his cushioned world of privilege and to choose between the truth and deceit. Either way, Brad could lose.... From School Library JournalGrade 6-10-- Brad awakens with a fierce hangover after attending a drinking party with his best friend, Alden. His clouded memory tells him that something terrible has happened. Although Alden denies any wrongful occurrence, Brad begins to search for evidence that leads him toward a possible car accident and a missing man. He meets Ellen, who is searching for her missing father, and, voila, they discover that they are both on the same trail. It soon becomes clear that this trail leads to a coverup initiated by Alden's father, a less than scrupulous but very powerful judge. Despite the typically dark and oppressive mood, Ellen and Brad manage to find a little romance. Bennett, the master of short sentences, has suspensfully plotted another mystery that is sure to appeal to reluctant readers. This offering is all too easily resolved, however, and is not as satisfying as Skeleton Man (1986) and Dark Corridor (1988, both Watts) . All in all, it's an easy-to-read page turner.- Judie Porter, Media Services Center, Portsmouth School Department, RICopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.From Kirkus sWhen Alden Whitlock, drunken son of a prominent local figure, kills a homeless man, the hit-and-run accident is quickly hushed up. Brad, who had been a semi-comatose passenger in the car, wakes up next morning with vague, disturbing

  3. memories--but Alden, Judge Whitlock, and all his friends earnestly assure him that nothing happened. Bennett's plot is painfully contrived--Brad returns to what he thinks is the scene of the crime and finds it swept clean except for a bloodstained pocket-watch with the engraved initials ``P.M.H.''; shortly thereafter, a young woman named Ellen Hanson arrives from out of town with solid evidence that her homeless father Paul had been in the area. Romance blooms as she forces Brad to come clean, but she leaves in disgust when no one else will talk. Amid much talk of responsibility and perspective, Brad confronts Alden and his father; but it's Alden's mother who finally blows the whistle out of concern for her son's conscience. Bennett's use of repetition, inch-long sentences and monosyllabic dialogue make his writing accessible for reluctant readers; still, compared to Strasser's The Accident (1988), both plot and themes here seem raw and undeveloped.
