Jordan Dotson Why Jordan loves this book

Honestly, I think this is one of the five or so best novels I've ever read. It's four novellas, actually, and the first and third are just astonishing. The prose is so good it takes your breath away (even though, at times, it can be a bit much). But what I love most is its ability—one that all my favorite novels have—to transport you into a world that's utterly foreign, dangerous, and mysterious, and is yet so rich with sensory detail that you grow eerily comfortable in this Alexandria, with its noisy bazaars and esoteric religions and vast desert romances. It's a masterpiece of masterpieces, a living experience as much a work of literature.

Jordan Dotson Why Jordan loves this book

This graphic novel was, for the two hours it took to read, like living my teenage years in the 90s all over again. It's witty, charming, hilarious, heartwarming, simultaneously heartbreaking, and as true and honest as anything I've ever read. Jeremy Massie has a gift for emotional subtlety, and perhaps an even greater gift for making you care about these troubled teenages and their fated rock-and-roll dreams. Truly, truly a wonderful read.

What is this book about?

The complete Holler series—an ode to the "Grunge 90s," music, and friendship—collected as a graphic novel!

Mark lives in a tiny town in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia in the early 1990s. He doesn't fit in and feels out of sync with his family and the mostly-conservative crowd there. Lucky for him, he finds an escape—the grunge band he forms with his best friend, Jay!

As the lead guitarist in Magnesium Mama, Mark and his bandmates make their time in their hometown bearable. Between gigs, there are a lot of ups and downs, and, luckily, Mark can remember most of…
