Series: Love in the Time of Global Warming (#1)
Book content warnings:homophobic slursThis . . . is a book that's very hard to rate. On one hand, I love the fact that there's LGBT+ representation, and I want to support it! On the other . . . I'm not sure how much I actually enjoyed the book as a whole.I do need to say how much I loved the writing...
Love in the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block is one of those books that dazzles and sparkles, but once you look through all that and get down to the details, it starts to lose some of its shine.There's just so much going on in the limited amount of space provided that certain plot point...
This is one of those times where my logical brain pisses me off. For some reason, the blurb of this book made me think that perhaps the fantastical goings on in Love in the Time of Global Warming were not real – that they were a story Pen was telling. And I was wrong. But I couldn’t accept this fact...
This YA novel was a fairly loose retelling of The Odyssey, and it didn't work all that well for me. I thought the writing was lovely, but I didn't particularly care for the story as Block told it. I thought it was difficult to follow, and there were certain plot elements that seemed to be added more...
Not my thing. I didn't care for the way Block incorporated The Odyssey. Didn't make any sense to me and didn't help with the flow of the story, IMO. It just felt forced and weird.
