Barry Lyga has finally given us a second instalment to the story of Fan boy and Goth Girl. This time he shows us the world from Kyra Sellers' (A.K.A. Goth Girl's) point of view. Did you wonder why Kyra was so angry in Fanboy and Goth Girl? Well this is where you go to find out.
Once again Lyga manages to get inside his character's heads without going all judgy on them and once again we want to reach into the story and give the character a good shake, make her look at the world differently.
That being said I preferred "The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl" to "Goth Girl Rising" because I found Fanboy to be a more sympathetic character. To be honest I didn't like Kyra much. Still it's a good book. Just make sure you read the Astonishing adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl first.
