Property Of Pdf is a Contemporary Young Adult Fiction novel By Alice Hoffman.

Property Of Book Summary

The Night of the Wolf. On the Avenue in the bleak area where New York City blends into suburbia, the Orphans, their fast Fords and their Chevys ‘coated by ice and leather and white dust’, prepare to engage in deadly, intricately structured games of combat. It is a world of grotesque, horrifying violence, fear, bravado and drugs, redeemed in the minds of its inhabitants by codes of honour, by chivalrous intentions and by the purity of their struggle for power, dominance, territory. This is the setting of Alice Hoffman’s unsparing and unsentimental novel. Her heroine, 17 years old, quick witted yet vulnerable, falls helplessly in love with McKay, the Orphan’s 22 year old president and their doomed love story is told in desperate counterpoint to the punk lyrical flippancies of throbbing car radios and jukes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Depressing…

I know it’s a fact that some girls want to hang their life on a loser and this was a story about that. I usually like Alice Hoffman and her stories but this one was hard to swallow – and rather triggery as I am now in recovery and this just made me sad. It’s well written as usual, and the characters are well developed so that I feel like I know them. – enough to want to shake the hell out of her!

4.0 out of 5 stars Alice Hoffman’s first novel didn’t gain as much attention as The Outsiders By S.E. Hinton

In my opinion this book was just as good, if not better, than S.E. Hinton’s “The Outsiders” yet I never heard of “Property Of” by Alice Hoffman. I stumbled upon it by accident. I just recently received a Kindle reader as a gift. I was very anxious to read Alice Hoffman’s newest novel “The Dovekeepers”. On the kindle it was too expensive. I searched all of Alice Hoffman’s novels and “Property Of” was the cheapest one available on kindle. I received a free sample and loved the simplicity as well as the story line. I bought it. I was never in a gang yet I was fascinated by them. I was also excited to learn this was her first novel. If you like an author it is a pleasure to read their first novel. I was so proud of her choosing this subject matter and I momentarily lost myself inside “Property Of”. The leather jackets; the cold New York weather; the sex in the Chevy with Mckay; the spoon; the needle and the track marks. I knew this world but never stumbled into it. It was always right there in front of me growing up in Queens, New York. Suddenly I realized Alice Hoffman was never in a gang but she imagined she was and this is how a great novelist gets into a character. She created an entire world from her imagination based on reality. If I was a New York high school English teacher I would have this on the reading list. It is available on Kindle as well as in paperback for a couple of bucks. Great High School novel even though I read it and enjoyed it at the ripe old age of forty seven. Sometimes a first novel is just as impressive as the ones that follow. Alice Hoffman is worth every written word she puts to print. “Property Of” is the first shot of heroin for an Alice Hoffman fan. I am addicted.

I’ve started reading Alice’s novels because I like the movie Practical Magic, based on her book. When I read through an author, I start with their books in chronological order. ?This is very interesting, and after 3 of her books, I’d say she has an unique insight on human nature.
