  <default_description>Amy Smootster is a high school social outcast who lives her life content in her own world. But it seems that Amy's world is full of strange happenings such as the spontaneous appearances of puddles of water around her and two-sided conversations with insects. Told with an arresting visual flair, we witness the coming of age of a special young girl who is clothed in awkwardness and oddities. With the help of her guidance counselor, Amy eventually accepts and embraces her abnormal abilities and discovers her place in the world. </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The art was great. The story was... creative, and clever.  But I have an ironclad disgust when it comes to teacher/student love stories, which I didn't realize this was when I picked it up.  That, combined with the weird pacing, knocks this book down firmly into the two-star category.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this even better than the first <em>Zero Girl</em> book. Kieth's art seems to have grown to fit the subject even more: it's a great mixture of sketched characters, psychedelic play with shapes, and color washes. The intergenerational romantic intrigue is uncomfortable yet feels right and you love Amy...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6219209">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[i read this over lunch today. the art was lovely, but the plot line confusing, mostly because i hadn't read the first set of stories that set this book up. unfortunately, the library doesn't have zero girl. :( booo hcplc, you usually rock so hard!

    <body><![CDATA[Picked this up when a local comics shop had a sale. It's ok. The hot-for-teacher theme seemed to come out of nowhere, and was an unconvincing motivation. Stroyline aside, though, the drawing/inking/color's fun. I love how her lower body gets cartoonish while her face is in sharp relief.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Amy Smooster's a great character for those drawn to powerful, awkward, quirky geek nymphets. The unexpected dashes of horror enlivened this teen-angsty comic. Definitely one of those books that makes you wonder how the author came up with the idea for the story.]]></body>
