Heavy Metal and You by Christopher Krovatin
4.0
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.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
1.0
This is probably the most overrated YA book of all time, right after the Twilight series. The thing is, it has just as much literary value. If I want to read a book about some kid ~growing up~ and writing bad poetry to his crushes, I can read my own diary circa 7th grade.
All Rivers Flow to the Sea by Alison McGhee
4.0
This book was amazing. I loved the writing style as it add more emphasis on the situation and made the character's views on her life that much more intense. This is one of the only books that actually made me cry, it was so sad, but it had a somewhat-happy ending as she finds love and forgiveness and moves on.
