Book Description
Acclaimed author Ibi Kaslik takes readers backstage with up-and-coming Montreal band The Angel Riots on their American tour. The band's story unfolds through the eyes of Jim, a small-town violin prodigy who struggles with her past as well as her present; and Rize, an emotionally charged trombone player who is stuck playing sidekick to his best friend, charismatic lead singer Jules. As the band's popularity mounts, the pressures of road-life and success begin to complicate relationships and The Angel Riots' chaotic world threatens to implode. Dark and dazzling, this novel will firmly establish Kaslik's reputation as a young literary talent.

This review is from: Angel Riots (Paperback)
Set in the music world in Montreal, The Angel Riots is an interesting debut novel from a talented artist. The book switches protagonists between Jim, a girl from the prairies who comes to Montreal to forget about her lost twin brother . Rize is a musician with the "Angel Riots" and his story follows his spiral into the typical music funnel of drugs, alcohol and depravity but his character is redeemed by his insecurity and humanity.
The language is clean and thoughtful, the situations the characters find them in less so but always fascinating.
