Title: The Hanged Man:Imegination
Review: The trauma of a seventeen-year old girl's childhood forces her to use her imagination to the fullest. By creating false events with real people, Laurel is able to hide from the truth about her late father in a world all her own using tarot cards to show her the way. The Hanged Man by Francesca Lia Block shows the outcome of an abused child when the abuse stops. The use of fact and fiction, dream and reality keeps you on your feet for the whole book.As a fourteen-year-old student I thought this book was a way for me to better understand myself because I too put myself in my own world to hide from stressful events in my life. I recommend this book to all people who feel that they are alone and have no one in their lives, especially people who have been abused in their lives. The crude language and adult content, however, may make this book inappropriate for young children.
