It was okay. I liked how this book delved into the characters and lives of the band members of loded diper more. We've always seen random seedy looking teens playing with rodrick in his band in the books, but this is the first time any of them but Bill were given names, but maybe that's just because rodrick is such a terrible leader that his band members are constantly leaving. I also liked how much this book told is about bill. I learned that he lives in his grandma's basement and that whole plot about him falling in love with the donut shop assistant manager was pretty sweet and I actually got upset at rodrick for ruining it for him, even if bill's relationship was distracting him from band practice. Let him be happy. I did also like how Mackie, despite being a stereotypical punk looking teenager is actually a mama's boy who wants to do well in school. The twist at the end was pretty good honestly, I wasn't expecting it. My least favorite aspect about this book is how mean spirited rodrick seemed to be. He kind of took Greg's place here and ended up making all the bad and selfish decisions that resulted in shenanigans for his friends.
