The scene opens with the perceived villain, a high school teacher, spouting a string of cliche phrases in an over-the-top attempt to scare the protagonists (identical twin brothers) into buckling down for college entry exams. With the help of their friends and bandmates, the past shenanigans of the brothers have landed them in hot water with both the teacher and school administration. Stressed with their situation, the brothers take their frustration out in their humorous music.
Seemingly setting the story in a reality devoid of average names, the author paints his characters in a palate of neons - steering clear of subtlety. Between the teacher's melodramatic speech, bizarre appearance, and over-blown reaction to a classroom disruption; the character begins to seem almost cartoonish. Likewise, the initial introductions of the main characters are overly descriptive in an attempt to prove that the characters are unique which effectively beats the reader over the head with that opinion.
Despite this, the author manages to capture the charm of youth and rebellion drawing on Ferris Bueller vibes with characters that could be plucked from Bill & Ted's universe. Whether the book turns out to be an excellent adventure or instead a bogus journey, it does make you want to keep reading to find out.
