Super Sonic Seppuku: a suicidal novel by Trevor R. Fairbanks Price verified 4 hours ago

PUNK ROCKERS AREN'T AS COOL AS YOU THINK THEY ARE! Yeah, this book isn't very good. Told in a first person style, it is the coming of age story of the portraitist Krust. You've never read a book about a portraitist before? Well, there's probably a reason for that. Krust is an ugly little man from an ugly little town who makes an ugly little deal with the Devil that ends up killing all of his ugly little friends. Krust is a pervert, a freeloader, a drug abuser and a lowlife and this book illustrates all these horrible attributes in vivid detail. The ending is cliche and boring and not very well thought out. Avoid SUPER SONIC SEPPUKU at all costs. I have other books that are better. Maybe go read one of them instead.
