I never read all of them, but I do remember reading The Cappuccino Years and finding it extremely depressing. I guess the teenage angst isn't as entertaining when the character is an adult in his 30s.

There's a NZ musician who got arrested recently because he sang "Fuck the Police" at one of his concerts while police were doing a routine inspection for ID.
