So Punk Rock

Paparazzi from So Punk Rock by Micol and David Ostow

 

Reviews

"A rollicking, witty, and ultra-contemporary book that drums on the funny bone and reverberates through the heart."
-- Booklist (starred review)

"Funny is hard. Punk rock is harder. And a funny book about punk rock, not to say kosher punk rock? Difficult to the extreme, yet Micol Ostow taps so effectively into the humorous side of a 16-year-old boy's brain that one's jaw is inclined to drop... repeatedly. A downright hilarious read if I do say so myself."
-- Betsy Bird, Fuse #8

"Awesome. Brilliant. Hilarious. So Punk Rock is so good!"
-- Blake Nelson, author of Girl

"Ostow's cutting-edge prose-graphic hybrid is smart, laugh-out-loud witty, and a quirky affirmation of faith and self. Read it, and you'll want to be in a Jewish indie rock band, too!"
-- Cynthia Leitich Smith, author of Tantalize

"The pitch-perfect dialogue pairs seamlessly with David Ostow's black-and-white panels, which are dispersed throughout the text and pull the narrative threads together. Heavy on the Jewish humor, but without the vulgarity of Adam Sandler, the Ostows successfully balance culture with teen experience."
-- Kirkus Reviews

"Catapulting the genre to new heights."
-- MyJewishLearning.com
