review 1: Matthew is a typical freshman boy. Likes videogames, girls, and dreams of becoming famous in a rock band. "The Man" keeps holding him back though, and he finds that he must think outside of the box to fulfill his dream...or, at least to move beyond step 1 of buying a drum kit.It's a cute quick read. It's got some doodles interspersed throughout...ala Origami Yoda and Diary of a Wimpy Kid...but it is not nearly the same caliber (story-wise or doodle-wise) as Yoda and Diary.
review 2: While I don't think I'm the target audience for this book, I think it hits the bulls eye for preteens. And yet, I still found a lot to connect with. In addition to the plot being fun and engaging, Nichols takes advantage of his equally impressive talent as a visual artist. Drawin... moregs by Nichols peppered throughout the book don't simply depict what's happening but enrich the reading experience. The main character is particularly like-able. Although he wants to be cool and be in a band, Matthew is smart and empathetic. A solid role model for kids, in general! I would recommend this for children 10 to 110, particularly if they're interested in music or art. Fun! less
