Punkzilla: summer reading post 4

I chose this book because I like the concept of a troubled kid going cross country to see his dyeing brother for the last time. There is also a personal connection of knowing you will never see someone again which is one of the hardest things to live trough at any age with any person. For recommending this book, I would recommend it to someone that loves something kind of weird. This book is one of the weirdest books that I have read. Not to mention the way it was written is one of the most interesting ways. It is written in letter format that I have not seen before in literature. I could also see the appeal from people that like scrambled literature but that is also a reason people wouldn’t want it not to mention this story has a lot of vulgar language and drug references but people may like that.

Punkzilla: Summer reading post 3

of this book, there is a lot of weird stuff that hooks you because of how weird it is. Probably one of the best examples of this is would be the beginning of the book. Why I say this is because of the fact that you start reading and you have no clue on what is happening if you did not read the back. All that you know is that a guy is writing to his brother that he hasn't talked for a long time. But you quickly find something isn't right, he talks about his friends in Portland Oregon that smoked, stole and did favors for each other. He also talks about his father like he is the devil. He is a retired major that runs his house like a military drill Sargent. Tring to get away, Jamie AKA punkzilla in Portland to his friends smokes to get away from his father but he gets caught, sent off to a military school and goes AWOL after a month of being there. But after six months his brother right to him says that he is dying of cancer… I don’t know about you, but I would read this book as fast as I could.
