 A FASCINATING EXPERIENCE! August 28, 1998
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have read and loved all of Block's books, but Missing Angel Juan made the most profound impact on me. This isn't like reading a book, it's an expansion and exploration of the imagination. After finishing the book, it played through my head like a movie. Like a dream you thought was real.
 it lacked of real life. June 25, 1998

Missing Angel Juan is a book about two lovers, one looking for the other one. The story revolves around Angel Juan and Witchbaby, but then one dissapears and then the story turns to only Witchbaby. These two characters are musicians who are trying to figure out their future. The setting takes place in the suburbian streets of a down town neiborhood. Somewhere along the story these two lovers got seperated and only one thing will bring them together again. Witchbaby and her roomate Weetzie recieved out of the blue sky a postcard from New York. It was from Angel Juan, Witchbaby who was so deeply in love decided to go to New york and look for him. At New York Witchbaby meets a friend that would be the key part in the story. This individual is already dead and only Witchbaby can see him or talk to him. Witchbaby realzing that New York is a very big place, she starts to go to all the places where Angel Juan and her had shared a feeling or an event. In this book faith, love desperation, dedication and perseverance will once more re-unite these two lovers. I'm not a reader, I do not enjoy reading books, so basically I didn't like the book. It lacked of many requirements for choosing a book. The story is hard to follow, no sense of humor, it bagan very realistic and then it lost it's course. I hated the ending because I didn't expect and because it's lausy. This book has not changed my mind about reading, but it's missing some reality to the plot and ending, for example Witchbaby was able to see and talk to spirits. My comments are based in what I think about this book, now, I'm not a writter and don't want to offend the author.
Block haunts and heals with "Missing Angel Juan" March 26, 1998

This was my first exposure to Francesca Lia Block, and it, along with GIRL GODDESS #9, is one of my favorite books. MISSING ANGEL JUAN has a universal-ness and beauty. I was going through a time that I was having to let go of love when I read it, and it helped me to see that it was better to let go. I reccomend this to anyone remotely between the ages of 12 and 112 (yes, that is a bad cliche, but it's true).
A gorgeous, universally appealing novel March 26, 1997
"Missing Angel Juan" is a beautiful story told in beautiful prose. Although Block's novels are categorized under "young adult," readers of any age will be affected by the main character's learning to let go of what she loves. Block's prose appeals to any age, too: her novel is a string of gorgeous poetry that the reader wishes will never end. "Missing Angel Juan" will fill your head with unexpected poetry and your heart with emotion. This was the first novel that I read by Block, but this was all it took to make me a fan.
This book was amazing. February 9, 1997
When Angel Juan Perez leaves Weetzie Bat's almost-daughter Witch Baby Secret Agent Bat to live in New York City, Witch Baby is devastated. She vows to follow him, and does, living in the apartment that used to be her almost-grandfather Charlie Bat's. She meets his ghost and together they search new York for Angel Juan. Somehow, along the way, they find themselves.
