I brought this book for a pre-teen girl of 12...each year I try to get something out of the ordinary for her to read, something that she would not pick herself....I read reviews in the LA Times book review section every Sunday and keep copies of reviews of books that might fit my need, or seem interesting to me, or something that a teenager might like...Also, I read magazines like Essence and Ebony and see what books are out or coming out that might appeal...I buy books for gifts twice a year at ...

A book that dares to sprinkle in a bit of fantasy into an already (sort of) fairy tale world of Los Angelos? Why not? Block creates an enchanting heroine in Weetzie, a girl with her own determined to make her life as perfect and as wondrous as possible.
For the fantasy aspect, here comes 3 wishes. Unlike the cliche, she is not punished for her wishes. They all come delightfully true in a matter-of-fact style that pushes forward the rest of a sweet and heartfelt story about life, death, ... Read More

It's my understanding that the Weetzie Bat books have quite a following, and I can understand their cult status, as Block herself has a bit of a cult angle to her fan base. I however, entered into the world of Weetzie Bat, the title character, completely unaware of what to expect.

I think I want to marry her. Ok, so really I just want to go out for coffee and share our writing. I want to incorporate some of her magic into my writings. I love it.I posted about reading Necklace of Kisses a while back. Well, when I finished that, I checked out some more Block books from the public library. First, I read Weetzie Bat. I wasn't quite as impressed with it. The beginning felt too quick. No story development. But, gradually, that improved, and I found myself loving Weetzie. I do not, however, ... Read More

My opinion is really divided on Block. On the one hand, I love her ultra-modern, dreamily yet manically poetic retelling of fairy tales (here is the genie with the three wishes, and the "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it" moral). On the other hand, her characters are flat and rather obnoxious (teenagers that try too hard to be weird, one of my biggest pet peeves as I was a naturally wierd kid), and I often feel like I'm drowning in urban, commercialistic images. Her prose and style is so manic ... Read More
