This book was just as amazing as I expected. It's the story of a boy who listens to heavy metal but still has all the hopes, fears, and dream of any other teenage boy. This kid has heart and uses it to express his love for Slayer, Children of Bodom, Satyricon and any other black metal act you can think of.
This book is great for fan of these bands because you can really relate to the character and what he thinks about his music and his life. It's great to read a book that looks at the normalcy of this type of person's life, where so many books give "metalheads" a negative feel.… (mais)

The Best Ghost Stories Ever is a great little primer of vintage ghost stories aimed at kids, who might not otherwise be exposed to fiction of this type. Even adults whose acquaintance with horror extends no further than Stephen King and Dean Koontz would benefit from reading this book cover to cover. From Poe ("The Masque of the Red Death") to Henry James ("The Romance of Certain Old Clothes"), from Charlotte Perkins Gilman ("The Yellow Wallpaper") to W.W. Jacobs ("The Monkey's Paw"), many of the acknowledged masters of the form are represented here. My only quibble is that there is not now, nor has there ever been, a ghost story author named Algernon Blackwell. "The Empty House"--a classic tale of ghostly phenomena witnessed by two astonished human observers--was, of course, written by Algernon Blackwood. An error of this magnitude (Blackwood wrote what is generally considered the single greatest horror story in the English language, "The Willows") ought to have been corrected by now.… (mais)

Definitely an upper high school book. A lot of swearing, underage drinking, sexual situations. Still, many of the interactions between characters are laugh out loud funny. The author does a good job of putting you inside Locke's head, showing you up close what sets off his violent episodes and how he deals with their aftermath.
