I learned about this book from:my sister <lj user="sheandhim">
This book was purchased at: Barnes and Noble
This book is:different from other books I have read. The main character is a guy but I swear this is a girly book!! At least I think it is.
Other books by these authors:I am not sure
Favorite characters: Donnie (the funny thing is that they only use his name once that I remember in the book) and Kyra
When and Where the story takes place: Brookdale present time
Plot in a nutshell: Fanboy(donnie) is a nerd and has only two friends. One is Goth Girl(Kyra) who is really emo and crazy. Cal, the lacrosse player/secret comic book geek like Fanboy. Fanboy is writing a comic book, no wait, a graphic novel. He wants to show it to his idol and become famous so he can leave his town and laugh at everyone who has ever made fun of him or bet him up.
Main characters: Fanboy, Goth Girl, Cal
What I liked best: I like that Fanboy gets to make out with Dina, the hot goddess! I like that the book does not end the way I would want it to. I mean it just ends. He kinda gets the girl but then he really doesn't want that girl. The girl he wants is a psycho, and doesn't want him. At least that is how the book end and you don't know if she wants him.
What I liked least: not knowing if Fanboy and Goth Girl get together or even stay friends. The book just ends!!!
Overall rating: I liked it. Very different and not a book I would have just choose for my self. I just wish it would have ended alittle better so I could know what happened. I mean, I dont know. I read this book and got to know the characters and everything seemed fine and then there was alot of yelling and then BOOM...the end?????
