Took me a bit to get into the story but the characters draw so much sympathy from their readers, it all becomes very believable. I like their slang, their culture, their anger and sadness. (Without being too weepy.) It's a wild tale but I could dig it.

ARC Goodreads winner. ( )

Jonathan hat es nicht leicht in seinem Leben: sein Zwillingsbruder Telly ist gerade ums Leben gekommen, seine verrückte Mutter will eine etwas andere Traukirche in ihrem Haus aufmachen und eine Freundin hat er auch nicht. Seine Lösung der Probleme besteht hauptsächlich daraus, sich die Nächte mit Red Bull, Gitarre spielen und dem schreiben von Gedichten um die Ohren zu hauen. So verwundert es dann auch nicht, dass er in der Schule sitzen bleiben soll. Doch Jonathan rechnet nicht mit seinen Freunden, die nicht daran denken, ihn fallen zulassen und einigen Erwachsene, die nicht zusehen wollen, wie er sein Leben wegwirft.

Das Buch von Conrad Wesselhoeft hat mich sofort gefesselt. Jonathan ist der absolute Antiheld: er ist gegen alles, hat auf nichts Lust und macht alles falsch. Aber gerade deswegen macht er einem Mut, denn er ist gnadenlos ehrlich gegen sich, andere und die Welt. In einer grausamen Welt ist es ein unglaublich lebensbejahendes Buch, das zum Nachdenken anregt. ( )

An impressive debut. Realistic, compelling story. I wonder if Eddie Vedder will read it. ( )

From the first few pages, I thought I would have to force myself to get through this book. I hated those pages and wanted nothing to do with the story following. I would summarize them thus: Boy depressed by the passing of brother gets drunk with friends. Boy pees over the edge of a ledge twenty feet up. Boy vomits epically and descriptively. Boy falls, mostly non-accidentally, off of the ledge and into the puke. This is, in my opinion, not an excellent start to a book or anything I am particularly in to reading. Having continued though, I was rewarded for my perseverance.

This is not to say that this book is one that I will keep in my personal collection or probably ever read again. But it definitely had its moments and had a few fantastic quotes. More than that though, it had heart and passion. The descriptions of poetry, of the writing process and of music are unbeatable. Wesselhoeft really makes the reader feel the creative juices flowing and get really into those moments. The best parts of this book, the most engaging, are the scenes where very little is actually happening, the moments of contemplation and quiet, frenzied creation.

For all rock music fans and poets, Adios, Nirvana is definitely worth reading. It comes out tomorrow, so go give it a try! ( )

Der 16-jährige Jonathan weiß mit einer Gitarre und mit Worten umzugehen, doch den Tod seines Zwillingsbruders Telly hat er auch nach Monaten noch nicht überwunden. Und wenn er in der Schule nicht schnellstens die Kurve kriegt, müssen seine besten Freunde ihren Abschluss wohl ohne ihn machen. Erst als Jonathan sich mit einem blinden Kriegsveteranen anfreundet, ein geheimnisvolles Mädchen kennenlernt und mit King Kong auf der Bühne steht, ist die Zeit endlich reif für ein Comeback ins Leben!
