Title: Hairstyles of the Damned
Author: Joe Meno
Genre: Fiction
Pages: 270
Summary: "HAIRSTYLES OF THE DAMNED is an honest and riveting depiction of growing up punk on Chicago’s south side. It is a novel about wanting to belong, but never quite belonging, that follows the riotous exploits of Brian, a high school burnout, and his best friend, Gretchen, a punk rock girl fond of brawling. Based on the actual events surrounding a Chicago high school’s segregated prom, this work of fiction unflinchingly pursues the truth in discovering what it means to be your own person."
My opinion: I absolutely loved this book. I read it 3 times already and each time is more amazing then the last. Altough I have had mixed responses about it from various friends who have read it, I still think it is simply fantastic. It really got me into punk again. Joe Meno mentions all the greats of punk music from The Misfits to 7 Seconds.
Rating: 5/5
