My Review
Disco Inferno! is a fascinating coming-of-age novel set at the end of the disco era in 1979. Bobby, loves disco and can't fathom why anyone would listen to any other kind of music. That is until he meets Misty, a beautiful girl from another town who happens to listen to rock 'n' roll. The pair instantly feel fireworks, and it's not just because it's the Fourth of July, but continual mishaps keep Bobby and Misty from hooking up. Chicago's Disco Demolition Night is coming up and Bobby sees his chance to finally get the girl, but when things get out of control Bobby just hopes to get out alive!
Well-written and appealing Disco Inferno! has lively and eccentric characters that readers will easily feel a connection with. I love how the story takes place in the 70's and the author does a wonderful job of transporting readers back to a time of bell bottoms, baseball, and Disco Fever. I was just a young kid in 1979, but Disco Inferno! had me reminiscing about my childhood days. The romance, friendship, and fun make Disco Inferno! an all around great read.
I highly recommend picking up a copy.
