This is a book by Blake Nelson who mostly write about teenagers and children.This is his latest book.He is more widely know for his mid 90s book 'Girl'.Like Girl, this book examines teenage life in the Pacific Northwest.The book revolves around Pete McGrady who more than anything loves to play the bass. He plays the bass in his school's jazz band and he is also playing bass in a fledgling cover band. Soon Pete is recruited to be in an up and coming "alt-rock" band. Being in the band affects everything, relationships, family, school, and work. This is an interesting book for anyone who has every wanted to be in a band. It does not paint an overly glamorous picture of band life, Pete gets screwed over by his bandmates a number of times. It also deals a lot with Pete and his new girlfriend. This book is aimed at teenagers so there is a moderate amount of sex (but Nelson is never very graphic when writing about it) and a large amount of drinking and smoking pot. He does a good job of writing about sex because he talks openly about the ambivalent feelings that are often connected to it when starting out- Should I do it? Am I doing it for the right reasons? Am I doing it right? When can I do it again? What does it all mean?
This book is for people who like music especially rock. It is also for teenagers who are into relationship and for those who have less confidence.So i'd reccomend you guys to read this amazingly interesting book.Its very nice and you will enjoy it for sure.
Rock In Peace
