What an amazing book I am so glad that I finally managed to read it. The Hopeless Savages are four siblings, Arsenal, Rat, Zero and Twitch who are the children of Nikki Savage and Dirk Hopeless, two punk rockers who sort of settled down to raise a family. The characters are all loveable and fun and this is the exactly the kind of upbringing that anyone into the punk music scene wishes they had growing up. There are three longer story arcs, two of which are mysteries and a couple of shorts ranging from how the Dusted Bunnies came to be to Henry and Twitch moving in together. Most of the stories are told by Zero, the youngest member of the family. She is fun, impatient and clearly brilliant, but it's when the whole family is together that the stories most shine. ( )

The one love story in the middle went on a little long. Picked this one from the library up on a whim, mostly based off the cover. I had been expecting something a little more tank girl-ish, but found myself getting sucked into the stories. The bonus material at the end is surprisingly good as well and the family stories are sweet.

And I love the made up words. It's almost worth reading just for that. ( )
