  <default_description>Britannia is ten years dead. Phonomancer David Kohl hadn't spared his old patron a thought for almost as long... at which point his mind starts to unravel. Can he discover what's happened to the Mod-Goddess of Britpop while there's still something of himself left? Dark modern-fantasy in a world where music is magic, where a song can save your life or end it.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I am not the target audience for 'Phonogram.' That's pretty clear, because the book is largely driven -- not just in atmosphere but in plot -- by references to a whole lot of bands I have never in my life heard of.  These bands were apparently popular in the UK in the 1990s, a decade that I spent en...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30918540">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was skeptical about this book since first hearing about it via my brother. After getting a credible thumbs up from the guy in the comic book store, I decided to give it a shot. I'm sincerely glad that I did although it requires at least two reads to appreciate the intricacy. Don't get me wrong, it...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5984295">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am overdosing on mid-90's nostalgia while reading this graphic novel. How could I not love a story where my favorite genre of music, 90's Britpop, has magical powers? I'm not entirely sure what's going on plot-wise. Some mysterious possession thing where people's eyes turn black when listening to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4861996">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A nifty little love note to Britpop disguised as a story about magic.  The musical references fly fast &amp; furious in this story, about a man who derives magical powers from pop music, Britpop in particular.  Thankfully, the author provided a Britpop glossary in the back, for those of us who weren't s...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13489233">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Despite the low ratting, for me anyway, I do want to say that I enjoyed this book's discussion of Brit Pop and I LOVE McKelvie's art.  I found the narrative too loose (both structure and story are off the map... things just seem to happen without motivation) and the protagonist completely unsympathe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25263907">more...</a>]]></body>
