Piece Out Of Books Hairstyles of the Damned

Reminded me of somewhat my teenage angst experience I faced in high school, the story started off "ehh, okay" but after I started to get a feel for it more and clearly understand the story. Also it has some good music references, really loved how the music went along with every situation going on in the story! Overall, a good enjoyable nostalgic feel book!

Meno writes like a punk, and I mean that in a good way. He writes with a cutting attitude, direct and profane. At first, I was put off by his style and the meandering story, but the book grew on me, and I ended up liking it quite a bit. It's basically a first-person coming-of-age story, full of all the angst that comes along with directionless teenage years. The plot is thin, but the dysfunctional protagonist pulls you in and along as he tries to figure out what life is all about. If you don't

Imogen liked it so I liked it (coz I am a convictionless little bastard most of the time when it comes to Art and can easily be swayed in any ol' goddamn direction or other by any ol' goddamn random-ass espousal or denunciation from someone I love or loath). But I think I wouldn't have otherwise. Mainly coz of how I am also MEAN and tend to have the least room in my heart for that which reminds me most ably of myself.Certainly there were parts where the narrator's voice was angsty in pretty

I like the way the chapters are very short and just move from scene to scene. And the kid is overall very likable. And theres some good points to be made about teens, punk, conformity, etc.***SPOILER ALERT***Not sure why Meno skipped over the details of the protagonist losing his virginity. Especially since this is a sex-crazed teenager and has revealed other things to us, masturbating, thoughts of sex, etc, but when we get to that scene, there were no deets whatsoever. I thought maybe wed get

I read this book a few years ago. I remember loving it. I want to re-read it someday but at the moment, my copy is back in Canada. :( You never know. Thats the trick, Brian. You never know which times are going to be important until later.Yeah, I said, feeling more weird each fucking minute. I guess.Thats why you shouldnt worry. You should just be happy when you can.That sounds good, Mr. D., I said. Listen, I think Im gonna head home. Ill call Gretchen later.Brian? Mr. D. whispered, raising his

I truly wanted to love this book because I read The Boy Detective Fails Again by Meno first. I adore that book--it's one of my favorites. This one was disappointing, to say the least.The first 200 pages were filled with a lot of teenage-boy angst and the nothing that is a high schooler's life. Many of my favorite books are books within which nothing really happens, so this wouldn't have phased me if the "nothing" that happened actually seemed to be moving toward "something," or seemed to be

I read this book a couple of years ago. To be honest, the only reason that I read it was because it was about people who went to the Catholic schools in my area (Brother Rice, Mother MacAuley, Queen of Peace, St. Lawrence), including my high school (even though QoP is only very briefly mentioned). I thought that it was an okay book. I'm glad, though, that I borrowed it from my friend (she rec'd it to me) and didn't waste my money buying it since I have no desire to read it ever again. As the
