Amazing Reads.

As I've said in the first post, I LOVE books. Some amazing reads, and I have to bring these two up. These two books are by Barry Lyga: "The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl" and "Goth Girl Rising", in the first one, it's about a geeky type of teen boy who's a junior at South Brook High school and he's really into comics and graphic novels. He's an outcast, a nobody, he only has this one friend but he's a jock and with the IN-crowd and he secretly has an obsession with comics too. So they share this love for comics and that's how they're friends and stuff. Well, fanboy is secretly making his own perfect graphic novel that he's sure to mark his success and his breakthrough to become famous and get him out of dark corner and into the limelight of fame and riches. One day he meets Goth Girl, Kyra Sellers, who changes him and help him with his graphic novel and she's a pretty badass girl, mysterious and all that. But I'd like you to read this, not me explain the whole storyline to you, which I half did already. Oopsie. In "Goth Girl Rising" also by Barry Lyga, if you've forgotten, is a sequel to the first book, and it's from Kyra's point of view. Kyra's just come back from being in a mental facility and going to therapy for 6 months. When she returns to South Brook High, she finds everything has changed while she was gone, Fanboy has become a hit around school and Schemata has been published in the school paper, and she's gotten furious that he would downgrade such work to the school paper. She's about to get her revenge on Fanboy, for ratting her out about the bullet, and she's confused about her feelings for him... =]]
It's a pretty interesting book. It drew me into the whole story, like it was real or something, and the girl's perspective is pretty true, for a guy to be writing the book. Lol, pretty good indeed. There are parts about suicide, cutting herself, like come on, she's a Goth. So this might catch your attention, you should try reading it. ^^
