Property Of

By: Alice Hoffman

Narrated by: Jorjeana Marie

Property Of is the book that launched a major literary career. In it, New York Times best-selling author Alice Hoffman introduces a lonely outsider who wants desperately to belong. She deeply envies the tough, sultry girls who wear mascara and black leather and hang with the local gang known as the Orphans. As the unnamed narrator determinedly tries to become the property of the gang's brooding leader, McKay, she will discover what can and cannot be possessed - and what can happen when you hand your heart over to a man who claims to care nothing about love.

The Mood

Captures the mood of a place, a time, and characters perfectly.
I’ll never forget the mood…

Not my favorite

I just wanted to write this review for anyone else who is an Alice Hoffman fan.
I thoroughly enjoy most Alice Hoffman novels and do you believe she’s a great writer.
This book however was a bit of a disappointment. I know before the first chapter was through that Buying it was a mistake. It was repetitive and the characters had little depth. The book dragged on and on and I was grateful when it was over.
I strongly encourage you to read a number of this writers novels. If you so choose to read or listen to this one just know you have been warned.

Not at all what I expected.

I was terribly disappointed with this book. I wasn't expecting the story to be about a 17 year old. I had a hard time believing Alice Hoffman was the author. I think I'll skip over the next few books on her list and hopefully find one that is a good example of the accomplished author whose novels I (mostly) love.
