Randy and Mark go on a trip into the wild because of tradition and end up looking danger in the face. This is a great book and I think anyone who is looking at my review should read it.

Usualy, I'm more of a fantasy/sci-fi person, but this book looked differant. It was very real, almost like it was happening to me. The characters were very real, too; thay had a purpose, and very well thought out characteristics. The story was overall very interesting to read; I just hope I never run into the same problems Mark and Randy did in Between a Rock and a hard place.

Mark and Randy are cousins, and both teens at the age of 15. Neither is looking forward to their big trip through the Boundary Waters, a coming-of-age tradition among the men in the Severson family. To Mark it's just another thing he will disappoint his family in...contrary to his brother, Bob ("Bob the Nazi" as Randy calls him) - the brain, jock, everything Mark isn't. To Randy, it's a test to prove to his family that just because he has diabetes, he's not a wimp. It's going to be just the two of them, camping, fishing, and canoeing, and they're not expected to be back for ten days. What can go wrong? Nearly everything.

In between bears, killer ducks, and vicious bugs, Mark and Randy learn a lot about each other. The wilderness brings them closer together but also tests their friendship. When they lose almost everything they have to a hungry bear and a raging river, they find they can only depend on themselves to save each other.

I thought this book was great. There was humor, adventure, and most of all, I liked how Mark and Randy weren't perfect. They had their own problems, and they weren't experts on the wilderness. Despite all the swearwords (nearly each page has at least one), I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

If you enjoyed books like "Hatchet" --- then you'll truly enjoy "Between a Rock & a Hard Place." I'm 31 years old & read it after my kids were done with it --- couldn't put it down!

This book was a very interesting book in many ways. From the comedy of he book to the drama in the book it was an all around good book. Ir really cought my interesy and it pulled me in with an interestng plot. Although here was a lot of swearing in the book, it was still injoyable. The swearing also made the characters who they are and I loved the book. I highly reccomend this book to people around my age because it is bry understandable and easy while it still was on a High School Level.

This book, Between A Rock and A Hard Place by Alden R. Carter, was an okay book for me to read.

I would suggest it as an excellent book for a boy audience, because it mostly has boys in it, plus boy topics.

Well, since I am a girl, I didn't find it that interesting, and the book's about two boys fighting for life in the wilderness because of one mistake.

do you like adventure books. If you do you will love this book. In this book Mark Severon and Randy are going on a canoing and camping trip. As they begin something terrible happens. If you want to find out you will have to read the book. On a scale of
1-5 i would give this book a 3.

This book was the most interesting book I have ever read. It kept you hooked to the plot and Mark and Randy were also easy to relate to. I, myself suggest that every teen should read this book!!!
