rating:
It's hard to rate this book...Meno's relating of the teenage experience through his main character, Brian, is painful, poignant, and eerily accurrate. He does an excellent job incorporating the early 90s (and the accompanying music) into his story. However, I felt unresolved at the end of the book - perhaps it was my fault for reading it and assuming it would have some larger purpose. There wasn't really what I would call character growth or development - it was more just a snapshot of some very interesting characters most awkward years. If you're looking for a book that will take you back to your younger days without asking or answering too many questions, this might be perfect for you.
