She turns what can be a terrifying social rite of passage into a party no one wants to miss. With lists of the best songs for all occasions, advice from World Karaoke Champions, awesome hand-drawn typography and illustrations, plus party scene snapshots of people singing their hearts out, this pocket-size resource will turn up the volume on happy hour. Rock on.

This book changed my life.

I used to be a big heroine addict until I was able to substitute my addiction with the wonderful world of karaoke. I used to have a steady job, a wife and kid until I got hooked on the 'magic.' Then, it happened, the drugs finally took over me and I lost everything. After Raina wrote this book, I was able to recover from a socially unacceptable addiction and replace it with a thing that everyone enjoys, karaoke. I wasn't that good in the beginning but when I read the book about a few months back, I vowed to become the best. Now when I'm at my apartment, all alone, I'll cry and sing my sorrows away. When I finally get that assistant manager position at Burger King, I am going to by myself a karaoke machine. Thank you 'Hit Me with Your Best Shot!'
