Review of 'Fangirl Rainbow Rowell' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I got hold of this because it has a positive mention in Maria Sachiko Cecire's "Re-enchanted: the Rise of Children's Fantasy Literature in the Twentieth Century." The story is YA romance, and not really my cup of tea, but Rowell writes fast funny dialogue. The family background story is more interesting than the love thing, and I get the impression that Rowell is at her best when dealing with domestic horror, but escapes to tweedom. Or should that be tweetidude.
There's a running satire of the Harry Potter saga. As I couldn't get past the first volume of Rowling's plodding prose, about all I can say is that the pastiche is better written than the original.
