This is another book review. I particularly do not think this should be the review before you read the book because it gives away key details on the plot.

This link show the difference in the two covers of the book Please Ignore Vera Dietz. The cover with the lighter I think is more visually appealing.

Some Musicial Help

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6frJ5IEA2Q&ob=av2nThe song that I chose to represent the book Please Ignore Vera Dietz is Sooner or Later by N.E.R.D.
This song has a said tone to it but an uplifting beat throught the song. This is similar to the book because the characters are showing sad emotions but do not show them on the outside. And this song actually states "its over leave it" which is opposite of what Vera does concerning Charlie.
