A review by librariann
Goth Girl Rising by Barry Lyga
4.0
It's six months after the end of The Astonishing Adventure of Fanboy and Goth Girl. Kyra has spent those six months in a psych ward, dubbed DCHH by the nurses because Daddy Couldn't Handle Her. During those six months, Fanboy was incommunicado. Why did he stop caring? To Kyra, it doesn't matter. All that matters is getting her revenge.
I love Barry Lyga's books. I love the voices of his characters. This one is no different. 4.5 stars, I think.
An important question to ask regarding sequels:
Do I have to read The Astonishing Adventure of Fanboy and Goth Girl first?
Probably.
Probably?
On one hand, I read the first book so long ago that it's almost as if I hadn't read it at all. On the other, as I read Goth Girl Rising, I started to remember bits and pieces from FB & GG that were pretty helpful re: Kyra's character. Bottom line: it's a good enough story to pick up even if you haven't read the first, but you'll probably want to pick up the other one after you've finished. I know I want to read it again..
