Explanation In Pursuance Of Books The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl (The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl #1)

Fanboy has never had it good, but lately his sophomore year is turning out to be its own special hell. The bullies have made him their favorite target, his best (and only) friend seems headed for the dark side (sports and popularity), and his pregnant mother and the step-fascist are eagerly awaiting the birth of the alien life form known as Fanboy’s new little brother or sister.

Fanboy, though, has a secret: a graphic novel he’s been working on without telling anyone, a graphic novel that he is convinced will lead to publication, fame, and—most important of all—a way out of the crappy little town he lives in and all the people that make it hell for him.

When Fanboy meets Kyra, a.k.a. Goth Girl, he finds an outrageous, cynical girl who shares his love of comics as well as his hatred for jocks and bullies. Fanboy can’t resist someone who actually seems to understand him, and soon he finds himself willing to heed her advice—to ignore or crush anyone who stands in his way.

Crit About Books The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl (The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl #1)

Let us take a moment to analyze the title of this work of fiction.Titles are tricky beasts -- you have to be careful with them. Titles, much like first sentences and paragraphs, make promises to the readers. Now readers, as everyone should know, are demanding little three year olds who want those promises kept, gosh darnit. As a reader, I demand (petulantly) that those promises be kept.Astonishing -- that's a big word with lots of baggage that promises to be absolutely amazing and fantastic. For

Before I start the more serious portion of this review, can we just take a minute to talk about voice? Barry Lyga rocks at voice. Even when I don't particularly like his characters or what they are doing/saying/thinking; even if I don't want to understand where they are coming from, I do empathize and understand. They are surprisingly authentic. I can feel what they feel, I can see things from their perspective. I am allowed into their heads. I, a 28 year old woman, am emotionally turned into an

Quite a let down after reading Lyga's Jasper Dent series. I just didn't like the characters all that much. Too whiny and self-absorbed.

The Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl, as a title, is misleading in all sorts of ways. Not knowing anything of the plot, I was prepared and looking forward to a light, cutesy teen romance, with maybe a couple good one-liners. To say I was shocked by the staggeringly dark and disquieting story of the very angry Fanboy and Goth Girl would be a huge understatement. Though Im not upset about the outcome of my reading experience, or about the depth Lyga unearthed in his characters, I think it

(Added an edit at the end of the review) I usually wait a little before reviewing books, but the review of this one will have to happen now, while it's still fresh in my head.This book doesn't suck exactly, but... it's not good. Let me count the ways:Many of the other reviews I checked out mention the title, and how there's no "Astonishing Adventures!!" in the book at all. That is true, and that particular wording is in the title to draw people in, and it definitely worked with me. How could I

Fanboy & Goth Girl It took me some time to warm up to this book, but I got there.  This was almost a four-star read for me, except I found the end too open.  Yes, I was aware that there is a sequel (which I've started to read), but it's still possible to have some internal closure while still leaving more story to tell.  Okay, I guess in some ways there were, but the end was quite cliffhangery. "Fanboy" is the name our narrator gets from the "Goth Girl," Kyra.  He's 15 years old, and

Two and a half, really. Ag. There's so much good here is the thing! But unfortunately so much of the good things that happen to our protag here reek of wish fulfillment. Hate both the boob-flashing moments, really hated them. Like, up until the first I was enjoying the book, but that was the point when I realized Kyra wasn't written to be her own person, she was just there to serve Donnie's character. I hate the party scene so much, and I would like to find one actual geekboy who got kissed by
