Explanation Supposing 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.

Rate Out Of Books Hick

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 have this a four simply because its one of my favourite films ever even if the book didnt live up to par. Its short as fast paced but Ill never know whether I would have liked it without the film (which I watched first)

I haven't read a book this good in a long time. I would recommend everyone to read this book at least once.Hick is written in the first person, which puts you straight into the characters shoes. Luli is a very strong character, often making you forget that she is still only a child. Luli grew up in a abusive home environment, this makes her want to escape and get more out of life. However, her escape just leads her into more trouble and abuse. While on the road Luli meets Eddie, Eddie offers

I absolutely loved this book. I highly recommend it. It has one of the best first lines and one of the best first chapters I've read in a very long time. Contrary to other reviews, I found the narrator's voice to be authentic - in light of her upbringing. Let's be honest, you spend your formative years in a bar and you'll know how to swear and be cynical. I really can't say enough good things about this book. It's funny, disturbing, uplifting (in a morbid sort of way) and one hell of a ride.

"And on and on till the moon gives way and the sun kills itself and the stars fall from the sky. I guess I'll see you then." Loved this, made my heart swell and my eyes leak.

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.
