Love in the Time of Global Warming

This YA novel was a fairly loose retelling of The Odyssey, and it didn't work all that well for me. I thought the writing was lovely, but I didn't particularly care for the story as Block told it. I thought it was difficult to follow, and there were certain plot elements that seemed to be added more to have something to say about a “hot topic” issue than to really further the action of the plot. I will read more by this author, but probably not more in this sequence.
