Summary: AMAZING!
Review: It was a great book about friendship, and it shows that a friendship can occur in the weirdest places! It was really good. Mab had an attitude that made her unique! Francesca Lia Block is my favorite author, and again she makes an effort and a masterpiece is created! You will not be dissapointed, especially if you are familiar with Francesca's work! Check it out!!

Summary: I loved this book, plain and simple
Review: This is a beautiful book. Wickedly well written and enchanting. Nothing like reading a F.L.B book to make a girl from Southern Manitoba dream of a cooler place, filed with Mabs and lavender. I must have read this book 10 times by now and I think I'll probably always read it. It's inspiring and challenging and wonderful. I can't say enough good things about this book without repeating myself a million times so I'll stop. Just finally to say that this book should be read by EVERY teenage girl, and probably teenage boys too. Read this and all her wonderful books. Well I can't vouch for her latest, Rose and the Beast, yet, because I haven't read it yet, but I'm expecting another masterpiece.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this book is an absolute MUST READ
Review: this book has got to be the best i have ever read, it's fantastic, any girl who's ever been pressured by their parents (or any guy) will know why

it touches on a lot of issues many would rather ignore but i think that is part of what made it so good, the fairy (mab) is a great character and so is barbie, they're so well written you'd almost beleive they're real, every emotion they have, every word they speak seems so real and vivid it's hard to beleive it's only a book...it makes you wish you had your own mab

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: My first experience with Teenage Faries
Review: I've never read anything by this woman (girl?). This book was like... Beverly Cleary but "modern". It wasn't very involved and seemed like it would have been more accomplished if it had been a children's story book complete with illustrations and such. It was like she started writing this book for a group of friends as a christmas present - complete with allusions that only they can understand in unmentionable detail - and she decided to publish. It left me the whole time wanting more. She gave everyone an out, even villains (Washed-Up-ExModel-Mother and Molesting-Fashion-Photographer) who some people would rather see horribly punished for their crimes against the Pop-Teen-Set... it was a great piece of pop culture that seemed to be written in an unaccounted for MiddleSchool style... I wanted so much more.

Summary: spectacular!!!!!!!!
Review: This is i think the best Francesca Lia Block book i have ever read! The begining paragraphs were so wonderfully written! she makes such insightful analogies to every-day things! i am such a huge fan of her writing style no matter what the topic. This book was my favorite because i felt that everyone could relate to barbie as she grows up with mab. i think that we all have a little mab with us to whisper things we would never say to anyone into our ears. this book was extremely well written and fun to read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Book
Review: This was the first FLB book I've ever read, and a good one at that. The story is deeply moving, with characters you feel like you know at the end of the story. Everyone should read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fantasy quencher
Review: Speaking from a teenager's point of view, this book is the best book I've read yet. It had everything I, personally, like to read about. It also gave me the chance to live vicariously through Barbie. I've always wanted to go to LA and have a fairy for a best friend. Ever since I read the book, I always look in every bush I see. I've read it twice already and I will probably read it again. I have no idea how anyone could not have enjoyed the book. I think they should read it again with a more open mind and hopefully feel everything I did.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: nice try, francesca
Review: I have read close to all of this authors books but this one left me disappointed. Block's lyrical writing fell short this time. I felt like I had read it all before. Enough about the jacaranda trees, Francesca, we get the point. Purple trees in LA. Maybe I didn't like this book b/c the writing style was just an attempt at recreating her other books. A lousy attempt. Or maybe it's b/c I live in LA and I know what it's like already. But it all just seemed to cliche to me. The stage mom and the uninterested girl. It's been done. I really didn't feel that the characters developed at all. They were presented and weren't displayed in any more depth for the rest of the book. Oh well, there's always Weetzie. (However, if you've never read any of her books before read this one. You'll enjoy it b/c you won't have such high expectations. And then read the rest b/c it will just get better and better.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i AM a Teenage Fairy
Review: This book is amazing! I never thought that it would contain such incredible writing in it. This book makes you laugh, and smile, and giggle. It makes you feel like your concience is nibbling at your ears. This book is incredible, and I assure you that it is worth all of the money you spend on it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Book I've ever Read
Review: This book is the best book I have ever read! I love Francesca Lia Block's writing and I find them very true to life unlike most other books! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I found every part of it to be satisfactory! I definetly reccomend this book to anyone who has ever doubted themselves and found their lives but yet on the edge! Laurel
