Sam's Light Book

"You know what punk is? A bunch of no-talent guys who really, really want to be in a band. Nobody reads music, nobody plays the mandolin, and you're too dumb to write songs about mythology or Middle Earth. So what's your style? Three chords, cranked out fast and loud and distorted because your instruments are crap and you can't play them worth a damn. And you scream your lungs out to cover up the fact that you can't sing. It should suck, but here's the thing- it doesn't."

This book is an amazing book about a young kid who had a full ride scholarship to college, is in the "Young Republicans" club, and is smart, beyond measure. Just one problem, his father, is a 80's punk. And a famous one too. for some one who likes punk-rock or any type of music in general, this is a great book.
It has so many great quotes, that I use in an average day. It's so realistic, that quote above was said by the main character's father. He didn't act like he was amazing, he wasn't a show off, and he wasn't trying hard to be hip. He just had fun, even if it was in an intense, crazy manor. It's down to earth.
It had a major twist, that just made me want to keep reading. It had a great ending, I honestly wish the book was longer. I don't often read books twice. In fact, I practically never do, but I can tell you for sure, I will read this book again.

Enjoy reading!:)
