cmw119's review against another edition
1.0
This was one of the worst books I have ever read (and I read three of the twilight books so I'm no stranger to bad books).
This was terrible writing, run-on sentences and a narrative that legitimately had no linear construction. If this hadn't been a school requirement I would have abandoned it in the first chapter.
The characters were flat and unrelateable. Music was supposed to be a central theme but was just sprinkled here and there. I guess the point was to be the biography of a place like Crapalachia by Scott McClanahan, except this was liked Crapalachia's brain dead distant cousin.

The book dragged on quite a bit towards the end, but it gained back a star for the chapter about the mice--one of the best uses of metaphor I've ever come across.

Jag tyckte den var lite skojig, men samtidigt blev jag besviken. Enligt andras beskrivningar var den här så fantastiskt rolig att de gapskrattade, medan jag inte ens lyckades få ur mig lite blås ur näsan.

Okay book, but not one of those books you read twice.

Die Geschichte vom Erwachsenwerden: mitreißend, ehrlich und unterhaltsam erzählt. Ein Schuss Melancholie darf dabei auch nicht fehlen. Zusätzlich verstecken sich wahre Weisheiten in den Kapiteln, zwischen, oder offen auf den Zeilen.
