	Comment after you read: I first heard about this book on The Sound of Young America which I don’t typically listen to but Stefan likes it so it was on and I was very impressed with the interview. I didn’t think these were the best graphic novels (two books were published in one volume) but as the story went on both the writing and the art grew stronger. The chapters are random at times and some incidents which probably seemed very important in high school don’t really hold up as well (most of the concerts are interchangeable and while I’m only about a year younger than Schrag and listened to a lot of the same music, if you weren’t there they aren’t very interesting.) I am looking forward to Potential which even my library owns, as I expect the story and art will only continue to get better.

Close without Saving
