Review title: All Bat, No Cattle
Product review: Weetzie Bat is an exercise in fashion. And, as Coco Chanel reminded us over and over again, fashion passes, and style remains. Block sacrifices dialogue, character development, theme, and depth on the altar of modern and "edgy" subject matter and self-indulgently fashionable prose. What's left, once the sound and fury of her peculiar way of telling a story ends, is...not much. Not much in the way of character, not much in the way of characters acting believably, not much in the way of characters having voices...not much in general. Readers seeking a novel of style in the same fairy tale mold are urged to consider William Goldman's THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Believe me, I am in favor of edgy material: I loved TRAINSPOTTING and SMACK. But this? I shrug my shoulders and say, who cares?
