This book is awesome

Rewind is a great book that any teenager can relate too. When it begins you meet Liam a normal British skater boy. His father is abusive and just an all around angry man Then one day Liam is looking for a drum set, because him and his friends have a small band, when he goes to the junk shop the man inside acts as if he's known him his entire life. Liam finds out that his parents used to be in a band with the junkman, Welly. Liam learns all about the band even how the drummer Liam Murphy died, it tore everyone up. Then one day Liam has an unfortunate accident but he does not die he finds himself in is own neighborhood but he sees a newspaper and realizes it 1986, before Liam Murphy, or Murph as they call him, dies. Liam tries to save Murph but in the end he dies but he does realize that Murph is his real father not the one he is used to. When he wakes up again he realizes that he was in a coma, and everybody missed him even his father he tells his parents that he knows who his father his. In the end everything goes back to normal, except his father, and Liam gets his real dads old drum set. The book has great detail most scenes have such nice detail I think I'm there. Such as when Liam first goes back in time he explains the street in great detail describing every single house. He also explained a swamp type area as he walked by, he described it so well that you even knew what was on the floor of the junked car there. There were numerous other scenes that were described perfectly. Not only the detail was great but the scenes were also pretty cool. Like when they were at the battle of the bands it seemed like a cool place and just like people actually are in real life. Also the whole book seemed like a real place and like the way people would actually act. All the scenes seemed so real that I thought if I walked outside I would see Liam walking down the street. The twists and turns in this book were also very good they came in the plenty and were interesting. Such as when Liam finds out that Murph is his real dad I was shocked and amazed. Also when Liam is sent in to the coma I thought he was dead, and I was wondering why they killed the main character so soon. So all in all this was a great book that I would recommend to anyone at anytime. I say this because it was very interesting through the whole thing adults would compare to real life from 1986 and kids would just find it cool. So go out and buy or borrow a copy today, right now.
