Title: Magical, mesmerizing, leaves you spellbound....
Review: I've heard so much of Francesca Lia Block and this is the first book I bought which was written by her. Her writing style is beautiful and unique. Tt makes you want to just go on reading and not stop. "I Was a Teenage Fairy" tells a story about a girl who, with the help of her fairy friend, Mab, explore the wide world out there and overcome obstacles in life.However, I found the book to be slightly confusing at times. Block used a lot of "metaphorical" language and it sometimes seemed as if the story line was not clear enough. I didn't quite like the ending because I found it too "rushy". Everything just ended with a woosh, like when someone talks without pausing to breathe. One thing that bothered me was that there was no specific "ending" to the relationship between Barbie and her mother. Instead, it focused more on the "transformation" of Barbie to Selena Moon. Overall, it's still a good book and will leave you feeling all magical inside.
