Product Description

From Amazon.com

Lanky lizards! The slinkster-cool novels in Francesca Lia Block's Weetzie Bat series have finally been compiled into one delicious volume. All of the ethereal, mesmerizing titles are here--Weetzie Bat, Witch Baby, Cherokee Bat and the Goat Guys, Missing Angel Juan, and Baby Be-Bop--together like the big, beautiful family described on their pages. Block's unique, poetic style immediately draws readers into an intoxicating magical-realist world populated by empathetic, original characters (as well as a few ghosts, fairies, and genies): "He kissed her. A kiss about apple pie à la mode with the vanilla creaminess melting in the pie heat. A kiss about chocolate, when you haven't eaten chocolate in a year. A kiss about palm trees speeding by, trailing pink clouds when you drive down the Strip sizzling with champagne. A kiss about spotlights fanning the sky and the swollen sea spilling like tears all over your legs."

We cheer for these young women and men as they struggle with the universal trials of growing up, finding love, and letting go--all within the vivid, glittering, urban embrace of Los Angeles. Block's stories about finding yourself, being true to your dreams, and believing in what might seem impossible will inspire teens and adults alike with the resounding messages of hope and the transformative power of love. --Brangien Davis

Review

"Transcendent." (New York Times Book Review )

"A poetic series of books celebrating love, art, and the imagination, all in hyper-lyrical language." (Spin )

"Magic is everywhere in Block's lyrical and resonant fables. At once modern and mythic, her series deserves as much space as it can command of daydream nation's shrinking bookshelves." (Village Voice )

"Ms. Block's far-ranging free association has been controlled and shaped...with sensual characters. The language is inventive Californian hip, but the patterns are compactly folkloristic and the theme is transcendent." (New York Times Book Review )

5.0 out of 5 stars beautifully different, Oct 14 2004
By steph (vancouver island, canada) - See all my reviews
some seem to think that this book is poorly written but its really just the poetic style of the book. everything is written to flow. i know that some just dont get it and think that this book is just too out there for them, but for others, especially me this book is wonderful in a way that cant be found in other books. it seems to be the style of F.L. blocks writing, as i have read almost all of her books. would recommend "echo" if you liked this book

4.0 out of 5 stars good, July 16 2004
Well i havent quite finished this book yet... but so far it is kinda confusing. It is a really good book tho. It has love in different kinds of places. It tells about homosexuals, regular love, and different kinds of things about finding yourself and who you are. But i do plan on reading this book fully. It seems very good and the author is great. I plan on reading Girl Goddess #9.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tapestry Of Eye Pooping Words, May 22 2004
By lovemebad (Naperville,IL) - See all my reviews
While some characters may seem shallow and flat. Block does a beautiful job with her writing.
This is a very good strange romance series. I love it because it's so off beat and not like other romance novels.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unrealistic, childish
I dunno, this book just didn't cut it for me. Maybe it was that I expected something else from it, or maybe its just not my style. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Deceivingly simple, potentially complex
