Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd by Cecil Castellucci, Holly Black
3.0
Overall, I give this book a 3. A few of the stories were bland, a couple odd and a few really great.
I tried to read each story without being aware of who wrote it (no bias on my part that way.) My favorite (4 star!) stories were: Quiz Bowl Antichrist by David Levithan, Freak the Geek by John Green, The Quiet Knight by Garth Nix (I need to read more of his stuff!),Everyone but You By Lisa Yee, This is my Audition Monologue by Sara Zarr, and It's just a Jump to the Left by Libba Bray.
Of them all, I think Bray's story was the most effective, capturing that awkward time between childhood and adulthood, all with The Rocky Horror Picture Show as a backdrop.
