Story3.5 out of 5 stars 82
Her life by the sea in ruins, Pen has lost everything in the Earth Shaker that all but destroyed the city of Los Angeles. She sets out into the wasteland to search for her family, her journey guided by a tattered copy of Homer’s Odyssey. Soon she begins to realize her own abilities and strength as she faces false promises of safety, the cloned giants who feast on humans, and a madman who wishes her dead. On her voyage, Pen learns to tell stories that reflect her strange visions, while she and her fellow survivors navigate the dangers that lie in wait. In her signature style, Francesca Lia Block has created a world that is beautiful in its destruction and as frightening as it is lovely.

Would you consider the audio edition of Love in the Time of Global Warming to be better than the print version?
Not sure if it's better than the print version, but kudos to the lovely voice actress who tackles FLB's flowery, often disconnected syntax with emotional grace!
What about Julia Whelan’s performance did you like?
Excellent character voices and a strong female narrator.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Beautiful, undiluted REALNESS!
