The Blue Mirror |
The demon lover is an ancient theme with eternal appeal for young women, and Kathe Koja uses it to powerful effect in The Blue Mirror. Layered over the background of a contemporary and gritty street scene is the achingly poignant voice of sixteen-year-old Maggy, a loner and artist in love with a beautiful and mysterious boy named Cole. Maggys greatest happiness is to sit for hours in the window booth of The Blue Mirror, nursing a cappuccino grande and capturing the life passing by in her sketchbook. At home she is an unwilling caretaker for her drunken mother, and her only comfort is her cat Paz--that is until Cole looks at her with those "incredibly deep and dark" eyes. The sweetness of his words and his vast need draw her in, and soon she spends almost all her days (and nights) wa.. |

Though "The Blue Mirror" was a disappointment for me it was wonderful to actually be reading a Kathe Koja book again; shes a splendid writer and Ive missed her. I so enjoy her stream of consciousness writing style and love the gritty, seedy, creepy world she always takes me to, rich with good small ..

Dont be scared by the title. This book should be required reading by all single people, especially women! Told from a mans perspective, the author weaves a humorous tale of rejection by women who rather date "Mr. Abuse" than "Mr. Nice-Guy." Take the test to see where you fall (or fall for).

I admit that I tore through this book because it was fun to read; however, the main characters neuroses, hypocritical tendancies, and in some cases ..."buffooness" started to wear on my patience. If this book had gone on any longer, I probably would have stopped reading it because she would have ann..
