Add a Commentomg lovedd it!!!! everyone should read it :)
I am 17 and did not enjoy the foul language and unnecessary "situations". I really enjoyed the first book and because of these things I found Goth Girl anything but enjo table to read.
This book is so awesome. I read it in one day. I really wish Barry Lyga can hurry up and make a third book. I want to see what happens with Kyra and Fanboy. I went to Barry Lyga's website and he saids that he might turn this book into a movie. I really wish he does. This book is awesome. Oh and I brought the same color lipstick she is wearing on the cover.
Kyra is crazy.
I love this book. idk if its just cuz im a girl but i enjoyed this one more than the first one. i hope there is a third book cuz it would be cool to see where Kyra and Fanboy go from the end of the book.
At the end of Barry Lyga's first novel the Astonishing Adventures of Fan Boy and Goth Girl, Kyra (Goth Girl) was being shipped of to a mental hospital after her father found out about the bullet she had stolen from Donald (Fanboy). Goth Girl Rising opens with Kyra returning from her institutionalization very angry. She feels that Fanboy has abandoned her and she is out to get revenge. As she works out how exactly to exact her revenge, we see Goth Girl's relationship with her father, whom she calls Roger. The two are struggling to deal with the death from lung cancer of her mother several years before. Roger, the smoker, has with drawn and gone numb, while Goth Girl has taken to lashing out. We also get to meet Goth Girl's other friends in this book. There is Simone, the girl who sleeps with boys to make herself feel loved and is constantly urging Goth Girl to lose her virginity. Goth Girl's other friend Jecca proves to be more of conundrum. She and Goth Girl exchange kisses, yet Jecca purports to be in love with a boy. This is the first time that Lyga has written a novel from the female point of view. For the most part he succeeds, capturing Goth Girl's anger at her mother's death and father's distancing himself quite well. Her thoughts on the supposed power in a female body are also quite true to form. This is a good outing and worth picking up. Teens and up due to language and situations.
I LOVE KYRA SELLERS
