Representaion As Books Hick

Foreseeing a hopeless future in barrooms and parking lots, cagey 13-year-old Luli McMullen bolts headlong from the heartland, aiming at Las Vegas where she expects to find herself a sugar daddy. Almost immediately, crooked-bodied Eddie Kreezer, a roving obsessive with a violent streak, and a fading but lovely grifter named Glenda begin to do battle for Luli's head and heart. On their perilous journey westward, Luli is introduced to drifters, lowlifes, strippers, speed freaks, gold-diggers, and a Libertarian with a dog named Karl. Along the way, she learns the truth of American rootlessness and discovers both the power and the peril of her own sexual curiosity. Part coming-of-age story and part raggedy picaresque, Hick leads us at a blinding pace down broken roads through a world that seems to this extraordinary and indomitable young girl dangerously uncharted.

Criticism Based On Books Hick

Did you ever see Freeway? No? Oh, you got to see Freeway! Reese Witherspoon gives her all time best performance as Vanessa Lutz, teenage daughter of a couple of rural junkies, just another in a long line of wild American girls who go looking for trouble and find it real quick. Heres a flavour of the Vanessa Lutz experience:That was 1996. More recently we have encountered 16 year old Lili Hobart, played by the weird, horribly compelling Juno Temple, in Little Birds. And way before that, in 1973,

I think this book is an incredible read. I can't believe it's a first novel. The voice is just amazing and the protagonist, Luli, takes the reader on such a wild, scary, sexy, beautiful ride that it's almost impossible to put the book down. I will be watching this author and waiting impatiently for her next novel. One thing though: this is not a book for the faint of heart. There is some sexually explicit stuff that probably shouldn't be read by anyone too prude.

This book is currently being challenged by a patron at the library where I work so, of course, I had to read it. I believe the patron is just concerned about the language in the book and, after reading it, I'm pretty sure she never read the entire thing.Yes, it's a difficult story to read, but the language is not out of place nor, in my humble opinion, excessive. I was SO drawn into the plight of Luli that I didn't really notice excessive "bad" language but was caught up instead with the

I don't know what to think of this book. It feels so mean.A 13 year old girl left alone emotionally and physically, treated so neglectfully that she feels unworthy, unloved, lonely, empty. She loves her daddy...he's a drunk turd who only has eyes for her empty shell of a mother. No one loves this girl. So she leaves. She goes from the frying pan into the fire and hopefully finally to land on a plate (is a plate better?)I liked so much of the writing until Eddie attacks her. Things went sour for

I just found this book extremely disturbing. The MC Louliee was 13 years old, and the things she was concerned about or exposed to probably hardened her, but wow, just wow! The mom in me just wanted to take her in, and give her hope and love.. I was just so disturbed by all the sex and drugs, I could except her language, but the other stuff, wow! I think if she was 16 or maybe even 15 I could've taken this a little better, but being so young, and so well I'm innocent, it just really got to me..

I didn't think I would find anything in this book I could relate to. Strange, because I ended up reading the thing in about four hours. This thing just grabbed me and wouldn't really let me go, so, I must have more in common with a 13-year-old girl than I thought. Perhaps, I must be in touch with my "feminine side", althought the protagonist is more like a Tomboy, really. She's kind of a Tomboy trapped in a hot little teens body. It's an interesting combination. I thought it was really funny, as
