First published in 1989, Francesca Lia Block smashed typical genres with her slim, lyrical novel with a teen protagonist that read like poetry and infused magic into an urban setting. The very first paragraph opens up with a string of sentences devoted to what Weetzie likes about LA, encapsulating everything you need to know about the type of girl Weetzie is. “The reason Weetzie Bat hated high school was because nobody understood. They didn’t even know where they were living. They didn’t care that Marilyn’s prints were practically in their backyard at Graumann’s; that you could buy tomahawks and plastic palm tree wallets at Farmer’s Market, and the wildest, cheapest cheese and bean and hot dog and pastrami burritos at Oki Dogs…” Weetzie begins the story going to punk shows with her best friend Dirk, both of them looking for the man of their dreams. The magic begins when Weetzie finds an old lamp and a genie grants her three wishes. She wishes for “a Duck for Dirk, My Secret Agent Lover Man for me, and a beautiful little house for us all to live in happily ever after.” Her wishes are granted. Mostly. This book was devoured in the 90’s by every girl with a subscription to Sassy magazine, and has aged beautifully, still relevant to misfit teens today.

I don't stop in the middle of very many books, but this is one of them. I couldn't bring myself to care about what happened to any of these people.

It is a sci-fi book with an underlying love story. The sci-fi stuff is as good as the love story. Stephanie Meyer is becoming one of my favs.
The first two thirds I couldn't put it down and then it went totally off track and strange. I was very disappointed that the end wasn't as strong as the beginning.

Although initally this is quite a heavy book to read, once you get into the somewhat peculiar writing style of Westerfield, the intricate storyline and realisitc characterisations that lie within this novel make it more than worth the time and effort. Westerfield's vision of the future (the exact time-frame is unspecified, but given that humanity apparently pervades a significant portion of the galaxy it must be the fairly distant future) is very captivating, although it must be said that little exposition is offered concerning issues such as the general nature of society, or the workings of futuristic technology. Westerfield appears to have sacrificed technical exposition of this kind, which has been a staple of space-opera since the creation of Star Trek, in favour of more fully developing his characters. This means that the personality of the story is richer, however, the trade-off is that the reader is required to be more accepting of the existence of futuristic technology without explanation of how it works. In my view the story has not suffered from this trade-off one iota,the story after all is about people, and these people are fully fleshed out in the story with background stories, relationships, fully explained motivations and other necessary elements for characters.More scientific minds than mine, however, may be left dissatisfied by some of the more fantastical technology that is integral to the storyline.

So I'm a disaster/PA freak. Which doesn't stop books like these from being depressing at all. Some time, right about now, the Yellowstone caldera explodes. This book is 11 short stories/vignettes from the initial onset of the ash to some time (not too long) afterwards. The stories are presented in something of chronological order, each going further away from the explosion point. None of them really connect, and to be honest, none of them are very compelling. You have anything from people facing the onslaught of death at a dinner party, to people trying to survive the beginning of the ash in their homes (protecting loved ones), to people who are wandering and refugees, trying to eke out a living or just survive in the post-volcanic world. The only story I truly enjoyed was "A Harmless American," where the tables are turned and the Mexicans are trying to keep us out of Mexico (as the US was particularly ruined). It's not bad. I have no complaints about the writing or anything, I just couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters or feel anything about the struggles that are supposedly taking place. I just think it's forgettable.
The first in the Marriage Trilogy. I had to snicker at the situations Carol kept getting herself in. I was rooting for Daniel.

I think- for all the hype I was expecting something a little more impactful. This book is compiled from excerpts from student journals over their high school careers with this extraordinary teacher. They did amazing things, and wrote some impressive and insigtful comments. But I felt as though the book never really took any leaps from being a collective journal. It isn't the modern day Anne Franks Diary that it could have been had the editing been done in such a way to intermingle other types of writing- essays written for class, or short stories for example- with the journal entries. There were some poems, but just not enough diversity in the entries (in writing/content style) for my taste.
Very funny! to bad he casually uses profanity.
