It's just a little later than now and Lola Hart is writing her life in a diary. She's a nice middle-class girl on the verge of her teens who schools at the calm end of town.

A normal, happy, girl.

But in a disintegrating New York she is a dying breed. War is breaking out on Long Island, the army boys are flamethrowing the streets, five Presidents have been assassinated in a year. No one notices any more. Soon Lola and her family must move over to the Lower East side - Loisaida - to the Pit and the new language of violence of the streets.

The metamorphosis of the nice Lola Hart into the new model Lola has begun...

I read this book a few years ago and loved it to pieces. For an extended review, please visit my blog: http://tesatorul.blogspot.ro/2008/01/...

I see it is a part of series. I was wondering if they are separate books in a universe or need to be read in order.

Apparently, the internal chronology of the sequence goes like this: "Random Acts of Senseless Violence", "Heathern", "Ambient", "Terraplane", "Elvissey", "Going, Going, Gone".

Thanks.

Proof that the universe is capable of good things. This is, hands down, one of my favorite science fiction novels of the 1990s. I'm pleased to see it coming back into print. That it is part of the SF Masterworks series is even more cause for celebration.

"Thanks."
You're welcome. :)
