Summary: This is my absolute favorite book
Comment: i bought this book from amazon.com probably a year ago, and it really changed my life! i think every girl should read this! any female aged 13 and up will love these stories. words cannot even describe the wealth of emotions that will spew out of you while you read this book. it is one of those books you can read over and over again. Francesca Lia Block gives the reader nine stories that go in no particular order. Of course everyone will have their favorite stories but the ones that touched me the most were the ones about raven, the beautiful groupie; la, who tries to cope with life, aided by her friend blue; and tweety pie and her sister; tuck budd and her lesbian parents--heck, every story is my favorite....GO OUT AND BUY THIS BOOK! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUETELY BRILLIANT! :)

Summary: Feminism you didn't even know was feminism
Comment: Girl Goddess #9 is one of the best books out there for girls. I read it the first time about a year and half ago, and proceeded to read the rest of Francesca's cooks. I even did an author presentation on her. This is a book that is about girls from all walks of life, and it emphasizes the born-in divination each girl has because she is who she is. Block's writing style is beautiful; it's full of imagery and metaphors, written almost in poetic form. Her writing style is something that is almost musical; you could honestly feel and hear the beats in her words. I highly reccommend picking up her other books as well, and Girl Goddess #9 is a good introductory to her work. This is a feminist novel in the sense it embodies the power of a girl because of her individuality, but it does this without the need of destroying the male sex. It's a highly reflective short story compliation, and they are stories that any girl could live in. Block illustrates love, pain, and growth at its most honest form in her work.

Summary: Every Girl's Diary
Comment: I look back now, and I realize that Girl Goddess #9 was a big part of my formative years. It was the first FLB book, and it still one of my favorites.
When I read the title story, I remember thinking, "Well,I like Sarah McLachlan, maybe I should give Tori Amos a try." (If you don't know how that story ended, well, know that I think nothing of driving ten hours to go to a Tori concert.) And, a year or so later, I re-read the story and thought, "Hey, I like Sarah and Tori, maybe I should try the Cocteau Twins." Thus began another addiction which annually saps me about fifty bucks.
I was going through major issues with a very dear friend as I read "Pixie and Pony," and for years now, those words have stayed with me: "Best friends? We are sisters." After my mother's injury, I struggled to reconcile the reality of her new self with the way she had once been. The story "La" was of enormous help.
GG#9 is every girl's diary. It is all of our fears and hopes and drems. It is everything we've questioned about life, our futures, our parents, our sexuality, and love. Each girl is perfectly unique, very mysterious, and yet completely familiar. Each of these girls is like a little facet of each other, and of ourselves.
