Book Weetzie Bat

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 Birthdays and Christmas. I buy books about 4 times a year for myself....Amazon.com has the best prices in the world, when it comes to books and CDs...I love Amazon.com it is so easy to find what I am interested in and get a good price.

wish come true

This is a stunning book. Part of me wanted there to be more of it because it was so good, but of course the sparseness of the prose is part of what makes this book so beautiful. There is no character like Weetzie anywhere else in literature, and you can't help but love her.

Love.

This book captivated me from cover to cover. It's so unique from the names of the characters to the situations and lives they each lead. It's a wonderful and I'd read it again.

A dream like book that is definitly different

"Weetzie Bat" is about a young girl who just wants to be happy and how she comes to find that happiness. I was completely thrown off by this book. I've been reading fiction from a very young age and the disheveled and somewhat juvenile story telling style kind of confused me. The writing is vaguely reminiscent of a young girl's ramblings of how she wishes her life would go. Some things are never explained and time doesn't really have a place in this book. All that aside, I loved the book. It was a quick fast read with a heartwarming main character. Weetzie is who I always wanted to be growing up and I think many young girls would be able to identify with her. The book is an easy read and doesn't have too much mature content. There are a few sex parts, but nothing is gone into detail. There are little or no cuss words in the book; at least I didn't notice any. Reading this book felt almost like a dream and the indefinite writing style helped with that. It's a book you could imagine yourself in. The author doesn't give too much description so you can imagine everything for yourself and that's part of the beauty of the book. It doesn't demand anything. It's a simple book with some beautiful characters that simply love and want to be loved in return. I would recommend this to any girl 15 and up. It would be a great book for someone who doesn't have the biggest vocabulary or has a hard time reading. It definitely catches the attention and the heart.

This was a very wild book!

I remember reading this in Junior High School, and it was great. But it was strange. I still loved it. I would love to read it again!
