Title: Loved it, very introspective
Review: If you know you LOVE Francesca Lia Block's work, DO NOT go about reading this book first. I did, and got a twisted perception compared to what I think of her now. This book is very raunchy and deep, and you MUST be acquainted with her writing style before reading this book. It is, though, a splendid, dark book. Weetzie Bat should be the first book that anyone reads of Block's, for it is simple and delightful. Block exhibits her versatality in this book and has a knack for describing reality, as lurid as it is.The book embodies the struggles of Laurel, who lives in Laurel Canyon with her mother. It is a bitingly emotional piece, yet, it also provokes pangs of relaxtion and understanding of what is and what is not. Laurel learns a lot about love, which is basically the thematic message. The descriptions are lush, accurate and inspiring. A good read for long-time fans.
