Oh My Goth
by Gena Showalter (Goodreads Author)
by Gena Showalter (Goodreads Author)
Gena Showalter is a pretty good writer, I liked the way I could somewhat feel what Jade was feeling. I like showing my individuality and, like Jade, I hate how most people dress, act, and talk the same. I could really relate to her because even though she was an outcast, she still had friends, family, and a crush.
I didn’t like how the high school life was shown. It seemed totally fake to me. I mean, in both the virtual world and the real world, someone was worshiped like a God. That’s not how it is in most high schools. There may be a really popular person that you know about, but you just don’t worship them.
The idea of the book was interesting too. It reminded me of Spy Kids 3D, only it’s not a video game and it’s for students who need to be taught a lesson. When Jade and Mercedes go in to the game, they switch places in the social kingdom (with all the people who were Barbie clones being Goth clones and all the Goth freaks becoming Barbie freaks (Jade leading the Goth clones and Mercedes leading the Barbie freaks).
Overall, Oh My Goth was a fun read and I can’t wait to read some of Gena’s other works (I’ve read Intertwined and am saving up for the second book). If you pick it up, hopefully you’ll like it too.
