I really like the cover of this book. I think that it very clearly states what the book is about and it is very eye-catching and appealing to me. I also like the shorter hardback books, like this one, because it's much easier to carry around than the longer hardback books.
I read Paper Angels with Travis Thrasher and I really have come to enjoy his books. The only criticism that I have is that at one point later in the book, the repetitiveness of the plot became a little old, but as the book neared the end I felt as though it was moving once again. Casey and Daniel are both very strong characters who haven't necessarily had the best luck in life. They both love to write songs, but can't seem to do so without the other one. I'm glad with who Casey chose in the end because I would have been mad had she made a different choice!
Casey's mom annoyed me for most of the book until the very end. Her confession made me see that she wasn't the woman I pictured in my head for the entire book. I had a reason for why she acted the way she did. She finally made it into my good graces!
I look forward to reading more with Travis Thrasher. I like how he has taken music artists from all different music genres and formed these books with their songs. I think it is also giving the artist publicity. I have only listened to Mark Schultz, so the artists of the past two books sent me looking up their songs. Very clever! I can't wait to see what song inspires him next.
