Summary: finally a true hollywood punk story
Review: All I can say is that I felt that with each and every word written, that I was part of this punk scene that the author herself was in. As I read on and on, I visualized each and every day of her life and the lives of the characters. I felt like I was there. It would make a great film. I hope to see more books from this new author in the future. Kudos to her! A book well written for any age. I really enjoyed it and will let all my friends know about it. Cooper is well spoken and quite diverse.

Summary: A Look at Another Side of Life
Review: Coloring Outside the Lines by Aimee Cooper was a very easy read. I felt like I was reading someone's diary, expressing all the sad times and happy times in one's life.Having been pretty much a conformist most of my life, it was interesting to read about a lifestyle totally foreign to my way of thinking. We tend to judge people by the way they look, but this book made you realize that the punks were just like everyone else, with insecurities and strengths, just expressing it differently. As with most periods in our lives, we tend to look back on them with a certain amount of fondness, but realize that we have to move on. Coloring Outside the Lines does just that.

Summary: A fresh, interesting look at the punk scene
Review: Coloring Outside the Lines is a fun compilation of vignettes during an often misunderstand era of music and youth. It is great to follow the development of the author's growth and persepective as she lives through the adventures of punk rock that most consider legend. I recommend this for anyone who is interested in the culture, whether you were there or not.

Summary: Witty and Intelligent -- A Great Read!
Review: I can't remember the last time I read a book that made me smile as much as "Coloring Outside the Lines"! It brought back some great memories of an important part of my life. Just as important, the book was very well written -- it really was hard for me to put down. I'd recommend it highly, not only to anyone who has an interest in what the punk rock scene was really like, but to anyone who simply enjoys a good read. My wife was never into punk music, but that didn't stop her from raving about the book, too!

Summary: Totally Cool Book!!
Review: I just finished this book and I thought it was great! I've read a bunch of punk books, but this one made me feel like I was really there. It's so cool that Amie got to go skating with Tony Alva and she and Maggie threw a dinner party for Black Flag. The pictures were great. The book was really funny, but kinda sad too. I'm lending it to all my friends!

Summary: Entertaining and
Review: I read this entire book the afternoon I got it, I just didn't want to stop. Cooper's writing stlye is simple and quick to read, but still grabs you and pulls you into a vivid 1980s L.A. punk scene. I felt I could well relate to her character, but I think even if we didn't have much in common I still would've enjoyed reading this book. I just finished it yesterday, and I'm already looking forward to re-reading it, 5 stars just doesn't say how great this book is.

Summary: Terrific Book - Going to Read It Again!
Review: I really enjoyed this book - you will too! It has it all - humor, suspense, tragedy and drama. Can't ask for more than that. And the best part is that Aimee's stories are all true! My teenage daughter just started reading it and she can't put it down. Just an all-around great book!

Summary: A Wonderful Book !!!
Review: I'd recommend this book not just to those with an interest in the heyday of punk rock, but anyone who simply enjoys a great read. Of course, it was fun reading all the "inside stories" that the author wrote about with such wit and insight. However, I also just had a terrific time moving from one chapter to the next -- most made me laugh, but some made me cry. But all along, I couldn't put it down! "Coloring Outside the Lines" was simply a wonderful book. Thank you, Aimee, for sharing your life experiences with me!!
