Zeitgeist.
The sense of the eighties is tangible, from the smokey IHOP to the spandex wearing cover bands. The story is first person and is told exclusively from Daron's point of view. He keeps you close with the confidential tone while you travel with him.
This is a journey, and it is evocative and well paced. He doesn't rocket to stardom. This is the long haul of crappy gigs, subbing for band members, and eating when you can. Scrapping together and getting by.
Argh! The story ends twenty pages before the final count. I thought I had so much story left. Cliffhanger! This is a definite read the series book, not freestanding. But, DAMN! It was really good. I'm totally invested in following Daron on his quest for self-discovery and acceptance.
Favorite quote:
If charisma was a magic spell, Ziggy was casting it far and wide.
