My Life in…

I loved Heavy Metal and You, and even though I was less excited about this book based on the description, I am very glad I read it.  The characters really stood out and I loved the odd parties they had.  The only other book I can think of about a teen with anger management issues is Breathing Underwater.  That was also a strong book but had a different spin on the issue.  The narrator in that book was already going through recovery and was also a bit unreliable.  Locke is reliable in his storytelling and is very honest about the rage he is feeling.  Angry and unusual teen boys will like this one.
