Reinventing herself as Pen, she sets out to find her survivors.
She writes beautifully, I will say that, but her stories require a certain amount of willing suspension of disbelief, an acceptance of the extraordinary, a completely dismissal of rationality and sense...and in that sense, this book did not appeal to me. Global warming caused more natural disasters, got it. Her love interest Hex seemed like a colossal jerk, which she couldn't get enough of. I was swayed by the artistically rendered cover.
Something else that ruined it for me was the king; Dylan. i guess i get it though, new life, rebirth, hex accepting shit, pen accepting shit, w/e w/e. Along the way she meets a colorful cast of characters and discovers much about herself and, eventually, finds what she is so desperately seeking - love, in its many forms. 2 stars. it's good regardless of how much i hate the actual story, lmao. Love in the Time of Global Warming is a retelling of Homer's The Odyssey, set in modern day Los Angeles to the backdrop of natural disaster.

Okay not really since it was short but it was an overall interesting read.Imagine the apocalypse striking Weetzie Bat's glittering LA. I just couldn't wrap my brain around the plot. After having read it, I can see why it would have been nominated, but I was disappointed. In 'The Island Of Excess Love', Pen and her friends find themselves on a hopeless adventure to … It felt like a cross between "Mad Max" and "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" as written by Quentin Tarantino & SpikI was swayed by the artistically rendered cover. Part dystopia, part disaster, part road trip, and part love story, Pen and her VW van gather survivors as she heads to the underworld (where else but Vegas) in an attempt to save her family. And people start to have magical abilities! I was really impressed with Francesca Lia Block’s Love in the Time of Global Warming. What an extraordinary piece of writing? "I am SO disappointed in this book. Her work has been translated into Italian, French, German Japanese, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and Portuguese. This is loosely based on The Aeneid by the poet Virgil. The retelling aspect was even looser this time around and the characters acted poorly to one another specifically because there needed to be conflict rather than it feeling natural to the story.I was meh about LOVE IN THE TIME OF GLOBAL WARMING but THE ISLAND OF EXCESS LOVE didn't even live up to the first.
