Does the Noise in my Head Bother You?

I absolutely devoured this book too (as I did the Hunger Games series.)  I was actually laughing out loud in many places ... and while it is not written in a linear manner and apparently the critics hated it (everytime I tell someone I am reading it they retort that it got horrible reviews)   I loved it.  The constant references to Sunapee are fun and you never know who you are going to relate to.  For me, it was quite a surprise that I could actually relate to a rock 'n roll star.  Not the drugs, sex or even the rock 'n roll -- but he has that quirky brain that I do that thinks in rhymes and makes up words and believes there is more to this world than meets the eye.  But the similarities end there, of course.  He has had a wild life, but in the end, he just wants what everyone else does.  Love and peace. 

I think we all felt as though we saw a new Steven Tyler on American Idol -- I just think that is the real him.  The rock star is not all who he is.  I would highly recommend reading it.
