Summer reading #4

Out of all of the books I could have chosen I chose this because it is different than every other book that I have read and I wanted to try something new and different.  The main thing that drew my attention to this book is the title because I found it kind of humorous.  One connection that I made with this book is that my brother plays in a band so I know all of the practice that it takes to prepare for a gig.  Another personal connection I made with this book is that a good friend has your back and you have theirs. 

At the beginning of the book Curt has Troy’s back by stopping him from committing suicide by just being nice to him.  Troy has Curt’s back when Curt is in the hospital Troy motivated him to get out of the hospital with music.  This is a great example of true friendship and having each other’s backs.    Even though I was not a fan of this book I would recommend it to anyone who likes music or someone that plays music.  I would also recommend it to someone who is going through a loss of a close family member or a role model.  You can get through that loss by finding a new passion just like Troy did.
