Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. Francesca Lia Block's writing style feels fresh, although her way of narrating is slightly confusing at times. The themes and events in the story are, mostly, nothing new to the female young adult category; it's its original, out-of-the-ordinary characters and Block's style that make Violet and Claire a compelling read. I only wish I had discovered Block's books sooner.Book Review: Love the Poetry
Summary: 4 Stars
This dealt with a couple of mu fascinations. First off, butterflies are mentioned. I have a bit of a butterfly obsession lately, so I was pulled in easily by that. Second, I have always loved the image of dark meets light. Blonde beauty plus raven haired beauty. And, I am always partial to the dark-haired girl. I have no idea why (LOL!). The imagery in this book was brilliant. I loved the picture of the girls' friendship winning out over sex and teen love, over success and money and power. Beautifully written. Downright poetic. I would love to read any poetry that Ms Block ever writes.
Book Review: Magical.
Summary: 5 Stars
A beautiful, mystical book about two friends, complete oppisate and their journeys. Both through the throttles of chaos and heartbreak, they loose their friendship. Violet is a strong, ambitious screenplay writer enthralled with black and white films from a rich family.
Claire is an innocent, mystical young girl who writes out her feelings in poetry, and meets a man of similar thoughts and ideas.
Following their own paths, the girls divide and face trauma and heartbreak alone, while both desperatly yearning for each other.
Although rather short, and lacking a lot of detail that would only improve upon the strong plot, it is a wonderful book that will send your emotions running.
