Weetzie Bat (10th Anniversary Edition)

Rating:
Summary: This book is absolutely ridiculous.
Review: This is the most unrealistic young adult novel I have ever read. As a future English teacher, there is NO WAY I would ever recommend it to students. The characters are reckless and ridiculously naive, and Block does not present any realistic consequences for their bizarre actions. If any "family" can actually relate to this novel I feel very sorry for them, as Weetzie and her pals live in an insane world.

Summary: A slinkster-cool book
Review: This is a marvelous, surreal story written in quasi-poetic style, but with a definite fairy-tale flavor. It's a quick but enthralling read, and it leaves you feeling giddy and free. The sequels are equally terrific, andi recommend them all. just read this book...

Summary: magical realism? call it what you will . . .
Review: beyond the glitz, glitter, and outlandishness, francesca lia block has written an altogether fabulous book that blends unity, alternative idealism, acceptance, and real-world actions (sort of) into a smooth, easy-reading trek off the beaten path of adolescent lit. though not for younger readers, middle-school and even high school readers will get a kick out of weetzie's out-there attitude and lifestyle.

Summary: Urban peotry
Review: This is not a book, it is a beautiful stanza of a magical poem that has texture, sound, flavor and scent. It's powerful stuff - I can only read this book (and the rest of the wonderfully potent series) once a year or so... It is a literary buzz without any hangover. Buy it, read it, and loan it out!

Summary: Weetzie Bat is hard to beat
Review: Weetzie Bat is a wonderful book to read because it gives you a splash of something completely different. The characters are so broad and unique. When you are reading it you feel like you're in a fantasy world of 80's pink and cotton candy. I recomend this book to anyone who likes fantasy.

Summary: weetzie bat is sweet and salty; the best of both worlds.
Review: weetzie bat makes your spine tingle and your body shiver in delight. it's willy wonka and pixie dust. this book is angel food cake, glitter, and kindergarten paste. it is the smell of clean sheets and the feel of sleeping in on spring mornings; of wearing flannel, and of freshly baked buscuits and hot tea. its the word "lovely" come alive and swallowing you whole. this book is a giant lollipop of rainbow imagination.

Summary: An all-encompassing,fun,fast-paced book of the human spirit.
Review: A true-to-the-heart story of being human. Weetzie, Dirk, My Secret Agent Lover Man, Duck, and various others all show throughout the book that human is all we can be, and it is wonderful. Weetzie and My Secret Agent Lover Man's fight over whether to bring a baby into this cruel world or not strikes a chord in everyone. Whether it is better to have your own pocket of happiness, or cry with the rest of the world. And in the end, happy is all that you can be. In Weetzie's world, family(including their extensive network of friends) is everything, as it should be.
