Book Reviews of Quakeland
Book Review: Bitter
Summary: 3 Stars
I adore Francesca Lia Block. Her language is lyrical and she manages to infuse magic and possibilities into her stories regardless of their settings. Quakeland is different. The language is still gorgeous but the story is very bitter and there isn't much hope at the end. It made me wonder if FLB has had a bad experience with a man in her personal life recently. This is about the only book of hers that I don't look forward to re-reading. If this is the first book of hers that you have read, please read one of her older novels to get a better sense of her writing.
