When I'm particularly down, I can pick up any of FLB's books and feel light again. This is why I love love Francesca so much. Their scalps are shaved like concentration camp ladies. The girls swarm in their black moth dresses.
Other than that, this was a good, short read and I'd recomend other divas to read it."We keep burning in the brown smog pit. Elliot in the story, but I didn't understand it's significance in being there. It was a bit confusing because it was written from 3 different point of views, mostly Marina's, but Lex also wrote a few things, and a narrorator also told what was going on in the present with Marina and how she was coping with her brother's death. It was written in the same way that all of Francesca Lia Block's books were written, that magical writing that takes you into the story. This is the first book I've read that talks about incest. It shows how people shouldn't lie about important things, especially Mothers. There's one fact in the story that's really sad, but I won't say what it is. This book was really sad, especially because they loved each other so much. I think that Lex might have killed himself because he couldn't be with Marina. He loved the one girl he couldn't be with, his sister. There were also a group of girls that went there, and they really liked Lex, especially one girl named Justine.
So when Lex died, Marina thought that Rat might have something to do with it, so she kept going to that club to find out more information. This guy, Rat, started to flirt with her, and Lex didn't like that, so he took her home. The most important event she talks about was a time when she went to a club with Lex, even though he didn't want her to go. She talks about how other people felt about Lex, like his English teacher who said that he was a really good writer. She talks about how they would go to the beach, and how they met West, a surfer, like Lex.
She talks about how, when they were young children, she'd follow him around instead of playing with other girls. The main character Marina, is telling the story of her relationship with her brother, Lex. Wasteland is another magical story by Francesca Lia Block.
