“This was music that had not only escaped, but had robbed a bank on the way out. It was music with its sleeves rolled up and its top button undone, raising its hat and grinning and stealing the silver.”
Plot: 8/10
Wizards are donning leather, guitar stores are selling out, and people can’t stop tapping their feet and shaking their rumps. Music with rocks in it is disturbing the delicate social equilibrium in Ankh-Morpork.
Characters: 9/10
Anyone can create a fully fleshed-out character in 80 000 words or more. The author creates a world of unique personalities, each one as detailed as the main character.
Setting: 9/10
Theme: 9/10
Terry Pratchett parodies the social unrest caused by the rise of rock and roll in the US and UK. It’s a light-hearted look at the rock and roll lifestyle.

Classic Pratchett; funny, insightful, vivid, and relatable.
Total Score: 9/10
Freedom, angst, music; I wanted to learn to play the guitar after this.
