The Disenchantments is kind of like Zooey Deschanel. I like Zooey, I really do. She's pretty awesome. But sometimes I think she goes a bit overboard with the quirky. But other than that, she's cool. That awful metaphor aside, I really liked the way LaCour tackled the themes in this book. There is no...
I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would. I don't get what's so great about Bev. She's not even really cool, like Alaska or Margo Roth Spiegelman, or her friend Meg, from this same book. I did like that the band wasn't any good though. You never read novels about teen bands that, you kno...
Opinion:I loved loved loved this book! You know I had decided I wasn’t going to read it for a while. It was on my list of books to read but the cover kind of made me not want to rush into it. I mean I hadn’t heard much about it so I figured it wasn’t a big deal to wait. Well I was at the book store ...

It definitely doesn't say angsty and brooding male narrator held within now does it?? But that is what you get, it rather confuses the mental impulses of the brain.T...
I feel all free-love and hippiefied after finishing this unexpectedly poignant road-trip book. An end-of-high-school road trip gives Colby and Bev an opportunity to be honest in a way that neither really realized was missing from their long-time friendship. A VW bus, flower power, music, and art pr...
Something that 18-year-olds and potheads have in common (if they're not one in the same) is that they think everything they say is so DEEP and PROFOUND. The problem is that I don't belong to either group.The Disenchantments is the story of four friends and bandmates who hit the road after three of t...
I was already pretty excited to start reading this when it finally became available for me to pick up at the library but the second I opened it up and saw some song lyrics by The Runaways I just had this feeling that it was going to be great. It definitely was.I don’t normally read books told throug...
