That said, Rock This is a very funny book. The young comedian speaks his mind about a variety of topics: race, sex, drugs, O. J. Simpson, and relationships between men and women. Occasionally profane and wrong-headed, most of the time Rock's wry observations--his assessments of the Reverend Al Sharpton and the Reverend Jesse Jackson are dead-on--make you nod your head in acknowledgment of their truth, even as you shake with laughter.

When seventeen-year old Nore Robbins arrives at the old Louisiana plantation home of her father and his new wife, she is prepared for unhappiness. She did not expect her new family to be so different, nor can she understand her own mixed-up feelings about them. Lisette, her new mother, is exotically beautiful, and Nore senses the evil in her. She finds herself attracted to Lisette�s son, Gabe, that is so bitter about life, and kind of fed up with everything wishing to just die. As time passes she pieces together a strange and terrible truth about the family; Long Ago Lisette and her children used a voodoo method to stay forever young, now only lisette was looking forward to that to keep her husband from looking for a younger girl, but she trapped her children in this endless tunnel, that makes their lives very miserable and worthless. Nore alone is a threat to their secret - and threats must be destroyed.
