Title: You're on your own for the amp
Review: I have to admit, when I was first handed this novel and told that it was written for the Y.A. crowd; it immediately went into my closet and sat there for about 6 months. When I sat down and began to read it at the end of the summer, I realized what a mistake I had made.I immediately found myself identifying with the main character, being sucked into his adolescent mystery of decoding messages written in the margin of a ragged copy of Catcher in the Rye.In a broader sense, though, this book is about finding one's identity in the absurd social landscape that is high school in America. Frank Portman adds insight through humor, as his protagonist struggles against MAG, Teone, and self-obsessed percussionists.An excellent read from start to finish, that will leave a smile on your face like the first time you rolled a 12 sided die.
