This review is from: Colin Preston Rocked and Rolled (Paperback)
Rating - 5 stars
This is a great book for anyone who has ever felt like an underdog. Before you know it you become immersed in the main character, Colin's, life during his sophomore year of college. As cliche as it sounds the characters and places in this poignant novel come alive: from Colin's hippy, self-centered, trust-fund baby girlfriend, to his critical but seemingly well-intended father, to his outcast friend who dresses up like Napoleon, to his dorm room where he lies and thinks, listening to Beatles songs whose lyrics mirror his circumstances and emotions, to the campus bar that becomes his haven. This book is full of surprises, humor, and pain. It is easy to get into and after the first 50 pages you will not want to put it down. The short chapters keep your attention. If you liked Catcher in the Rye, The Outsiders and Prep you will love this book. Kudos to the author on an amazing first novel.
