Title: flashback to early 90's
Product review: This book brought me back to the world of mixtapes, the misfits, flannel shirts, and combat boots. Hairstyles of the Damned filled me the bittersweet nostalgia, but also made me glad that I've moved beyond those drifting teenage years. As written by other reviewers, the story is typical teen angst, but the realistic voice and the central motif of music reflecting and creating identity helps this novel stand apart from many of the rest in the same genre.I'd recommend this one to fellow readers in their late 20's/ early 30's who'd like a light and occasionally touching and funny trip back to high school. After reading it, I passed the book along to a 10th grade student of mine who has recently become interested in 80's punk. This "reluctant reader" (as some might label him) read the book in two days and came back raving about it. As a result the local book store was quickly cleared out of copies.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
