Thanasis loves hate. He is also crazy about music, but he gets annoyed with his teachers, foreigners, and his siblings. He beats up his classmates, argues with his stepfather, runs away from home, gets involved in racist organizations. He prefers violence, and whatever he does he finds right. He sticks out his tongue at life and flips it off. But what will happen when life itself decides to stick its tongue out at him? When he realizes that what he hates most is his own reflection in the mirror?

The award-winning book by Vasilis Papatheodorou, At Full Volume, is a young adult novel, as melodic as music and as harsh as adolescence. It speaks about those who feel like winners while others see them as losers, or about those who see themselves as losers but want to become winners. Ultimately, it concerns all those who at some point realize that the very thing that "makes them sick" is simultaneously their own cure.

Above all, it is a book for young people who are not content just to imagine their lives through the songs they listen to, but who press Stop, take off their headphones, and decide to live it.
