Book Reviews of Violet & Claire
Book Review: The Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Fransesca Lia Block is the best author! She is my favorite. I have read all of her books except for one!Book Review: The Journey of Two teenage girls
Summary: 5 Stars
Violet and Claire is a wonderfully written book that I think should be read by all teenagers. Being a BIG-TIME fan of realistic fiction, I found Violet and Claire very easy to enjoy. Francesca Lia Block wrote this book in such a way that that you feel like you're going through their quests to be famous along with them! When mysterious Violet decides she wants to be a director, she goes on a search for her leading lady. When she finds Claire, you'd think, oh, well, this was predictable, but NO! This author finds a way to twist the story that you end up rushing to finish he book. As for the "Twist", read Violet and Claire, and find out what it is!Book Review: This modern fairy tale = must read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book tells of the eccentric friendship between Violet, a budding screenwriter, and Claire, a girl who believes she is a Faerie. They're planning on writing a movie based on their lives, but it turns into anything but...and their life is more like the movie. They put their friendship on the line, but learn that they're best friends forever and need each other to survive.This book is a great reminder of the best things about friendship. It can remind you why you are so in tune with your best friend. I recommend this to everyone.
It's not your average fairy tale. :)
Book Review: True Friends
Summary: 4 Stars
This isn't FLB's greatest work but that doesn't mean it isn't a must read. Violet and Claire have to distinct and even opposite personalities but they seem to be made for each other. Any Block fan should have this book.Book Review: Two Best Friends
Summary: 4 Stars
A Review by KristinViolet and Claire are two totally different kinds of people. Violet is very dark and gothic. Claire is very light, and believes in faeries. Violet dreams of someday making her own movie, and Claire enjoys writing and reading poetry. The one thing that they do have in common is the fact that neither of them have friends, and they are all considered to be strange. The one thing that ties them together as friends is the fact that Violet needs to get an actress to act in the movie that she is making. The rest of the book goes from there. Claire and Violet go on many adventures to find actors and actresses, slowly learning what life on there own is really like, and that no matter what, your friends will always be there.
One thing that I liked about this book was the way that the writer switched from character. The switching want confusing at all. One section from Violets point of view, one from Claires point of view, and the last from the writers. Another thing that I liked was the realism. The writer really made this book come to life. It is easy to imagine the different scenes, like when the girls run away. Also, there are good descriptions, which make the book seem more exciting. One last thing that I liked was the differences between the characters. This showed that just because one person looks one way, and another looks different form you, that you can still find a best friend in them, and it doesnt really matter how they look.
All in all, I felt that this was a great book. It had great descriptions, which made for easier reading. It also had a fast pace, which made you want to keep reading it. This would be a great book for 7th to 10th grade readers.
