2.0

If I'm being honest here, this is a cool book to have if you're a huge Joan Jett fan. But even then, it's not all that spectacular. There are 20 short stories in graphic novel form throughout the book, each of them pertaining to a song from either Bad Reputation or I Love Rock N Roll. Unfortunately, not many of those stories appealed to me. I liked more of them from the ILRnR half than I did from Bad Reputation. None of them were all that fleshed out, so you don't really grow attached to any of the stories, characters, or the meanings behind them. If you love the songs and you're interested in reading about stories others created to go along with those songs, then by all means, try it out. But I was skimming through the last few, and really didn't see much of a point to either volume.
