bookhead68 's review for:
A fun, humorous, memoir about coming of age in the '80s, with the music of that era serving primarily as background. The book is much in the same vein as Chuck Klosterman's "Fargo Rock City", only focusing on New Wave and pop rather than hair metal. Like Klosterman, I give Sheffield credit for coming clean about the questionable music he liked in the '80s (not as if my musical taste back then was any better).
If you were a teenager or young adult in the '80s, you'll enjoy this book. As someone who was a shy and awkward teen during that decade, I particularly identified with Sheffield's tales of being a loveless, gawky nerd.
