Hairstyles of the Damned by Joe Meno

3.0

This was interesting. I enjoyed learning about a sub-culture I knew nothing about. The narrator Brian goes to a Catholic high school in South Chicago in the early 90s. Through various trials and tribulations, he comes to an epiphany that everyone around him is just a phony. Hmmm, now where have we heard that before? This seemed like an update on an old classic, fresh, but not that original. I'm not even sure the setting will stand the test of time or transcend its core audience. I guess that remains to be seen. Warning: lots of realistic teen dialogue, cursing and sex. Recommended for age 17 and up.
