Review of 'Dangerous Angels' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I first read Weetzie Bat during my YA Lit class. This is all of the books in one tome.[return][return]There's an air of era to this book, but in a mixed-up all-eras way. There are so many references to different eras and cultures, it smooths over the fact that these books were written a while ago.[return][return]The stories illustrate ways you can look for love, look at love, and deal with the love you have for others. That's not easy. Without hitting you over the head, I think you end up feeling like you know more about how to view yourself, and those who are around you. They're written in a way that appeals to teens, but their funky era-ness (I can't think of a better way to describe it) transcends even age.
