"
Love is a dangerous angel." One of the many great lines from the
Weetzie Bat young adult books by this author. I can't characterize her books by comparing them to others, because it just doesn't work. They are some kind of
magical realism, though, not really
urban fantasy.
Funky punk and
cool, possibly even if you're not
13 anymore either. Block invents words and phrases with lovely abandon. She's responsible for
slinkster cool,
glam-slam and any number of other great phrases.
