I feel like every one of my reviews for the books in this series are the same. Funny, fabulous illustrations with puns galore; this time literary references from all directions that'll amuse both young and old. Again, a lot of those references may go over the head of the 'target market', but who cares? There's enough to keep them engrossed in the story, while the rest of us giggle at the references.
Especially fun to see Chris Riddell himself appear in this one as a rather unwelcome illustrator/journalist. Definitely made me giggle. Only downside are a couple of typos or printing errors that were a bit of a shame, but otherwise a gorgeous book as always. Didn't love the little bonus booklet at the back as much as I have with the previous volumes, but still a lovely little addition.

Falls ihr Englisch könnt, lest bitte, bitte "Goth Girl" von Chris Riddell und lest die Reihe auf Englisch. Die deutschen Verlage haben ohnehin kapituliert, die Bücher zu übersetzt, da das mit dem Wortwitz so gar nicht geklappt hat. Es gibt Anspielungen auf englische Klassiker ohne Ende und die Geschichte ist herrlich schräg und unterhalsam.
Beispielsweise die Namen der Figuren: so heißt eine der Autorinnen dort Plain Austin.
Oder der Buchtitel selbst: "Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright".
Natürlich ist auch die Aufmachung wieder ein Augenweide. Chris Riddell hat die Geschichte wieder reich illustriert und das kleine Buch im Buch ist allerliebst.

Wonderful jokes. If it makes my daughters happy and they want me to read it that makes it a five star all the time!
UPDATE:
Never as a book filled me with such pleasure as this in ages, delightful book references abound.
Georgie Elliot, anyone? Homily Dickson, no?
OK. My favourite... "Hands" Christian Anderson, because he has LARGE hands.
Just read it and enjoy the book title and other authors.

Kirjallinen suurtapaus! Austen ja Brontën sisarukset samassa teoksessa!
Sarjan intertekstuaalisuus vain lisääntyy osa osalta, eikä se silti häiritse tietämätöntäkään lukijaa. Mukaan tulee myös enemmän steampunkkia. Ja apinoita. Ihmissusi ei koskaan ole väärä ratkaisu.

Perfect x3!
Though not as Gothic in nature as the previous two books of the series, this third installment to the Goth Girl series does see a lot of literary puns that I appreciated--though, again, I'm not sure that children should be expected to understand them, and therefore reconfirm my opinion that this book isn't wholly intended for children, but for older teens and adults as well.
One more book to the series and I'll have all four gorgeousness aesthetic books on my shelf! Can't wait!

One of the best ones in the series, just magnificent. I was simultaneously laughing out loud and wishing to revisit the classics Riddell referenced. Excellent!

The Goth Girl series by Chris Riddell is a favourite YA / children's series of mine. When I want a light, entertaining, superbly drawn story to make me feel good, this is one series I choose. Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright is the 3rd book in this series. I now have one book left to enjoy in this series. 😞😟😢
Christmas is coming. Ada Goth is waiting for the return from boarding school of her best friend, Emily Cabbage and her brother William Cabbage. Ada misses Emily very much and wishes she could go to school with her, but has mixed emotions. If Ada goes to school, her nanny, Lucy Borgia would have to leave, and she loves Lucy.
Many guests will arrive for Christmas as her father, Lord Goth, is hosting the Literary Dog Show. It will bring famous writers and their dogs to the Goth estate to take part in a dog show. As well, Emily and William are also bringing guests; the Vicarage sisters, Emily, Charlotte and Anne (ring a bell, perchance) and their brother Bramwell. Also crashing the party is Flushman, a fellow student of William and Bramwell.
Mysterious goings on also taking place at the estate; monkeys on the prowl, stealing books and bananas; strange howls at night, shoes chewed on, food disappearing.. All very exciting.
So lots of action for you to enjoy, lovely characters, wonderful artwork, an all-around fun, entertaining story. What will I do when I finish this series? Continue with Riddell's Ottoline books and start his The Edge Chronicles. Woo hoo! (3.5 stars)

Chris Riddellin kirjoittaman ja kuvittaman lastenkirjasarjan kolmas osa, Ada Gootti ja Humisevan karju jatkaa aiemmin viitoitetulla tiellä.
Joulu on tulossa ja Lordi Gootti on poissa liikeasioitaan hoitamassa. Hänen on tarkoitus palata aatoksi ja Ada yrittää ehtiä lukemaan kirjailija isänsä uusimman teoksen ennen tämän paluuta. Kun kirjastohuoneeseen yhtäkkiä pölähtää kolme apinaa, jotka keräävät hyllyistä kirjoja, Adan suunitelmat muuttuvat.
Adan ystävät Emily ja William Kaali ovat tulossa Kalmatollon kartanolle joululoman viettoon, sillä heidän keksijä-isänsä työskentelee Lordi Gootille. Ada ei ole nähnyt heitä pitkään aikaan, koska hänellä on kotiopettaja Lucy Borgia, eikä hän siis käy koulussa muiden tavoin. Kun Ada viimein tapaa Emilyn, hän joutuu hieman harmistuen huomaamaan, että tyttö on löytänyt koulussa uusia ystäviä ja ottanut nämä mukaansa lomalle. Pappilan sisaruskset Charlotte, Emily ja Anne viittaavat tietenkin Brontën sisaruksiin.
Tuttuun tapaan teos on täynnä ihastuttavia kirjallisuusviittauksia. Kirjallisen koiranäyttelyn osallistuvat mm. Karu Austen (teokset Järjettömyys ja tunteettomuus ja Nopeus ja ennakkoluulo) ja koiransa Emma, miesten vaatteisiin pukeutuva, balettiaskelilla tanssahteleva Georgie Eliot ja middlemarchinkoiransa Kankuri sekä Epeli Dickinson ja koiransa Carlo.
Koiranäyttelyn tuomareina ovat Hanska-Risto Andersen ja kreivitär Peppi Pätkätossu (jolla on syvälapinsylikoira Muumi). Peppi viittaa useaan otteeseen ystäväänsä Elsaan tavalla, joka ei jätä arvailujen varaan, etteikö kyseessä olisi Frozenista tuttu jääkuningatar. Elsa koristaa myös joulukuusen latvaa tähden tai enkelin sijaan.
Hienointa humoristisessa, nopealukuisessa teoksessa on jälleen Riddellin kuvitus (voisin ostaa miehen kuvittaman värityskirjan, jos sellainen tulisi vastaan). Tarina on ihan viihdyttävä ja sen vahvuutena ovat moninaiset. aikuislukijoille osoitetut viittaukset, vaikka juoni ja hahmot eivät niinkään jää mieleen.
Teoksen nimi viittaa tietenkin Emily Brontën kirjoittamaan Humisevaan harjuun, muttei liity millään tavoin itse tarinaan, vaikka yksi hahmoista onkin viittaus kirjailijattareen.

Es delicioso leer un libro con ilustraciones tan magníficas (amo los dibujos de Ada y Lord Goth), con una documentación de la época completisima y memorable (ojo con los detalles de las Bronte, pocos mencionan su país imaginario de niñez), en cuya trama te puedes encontrar a todos los grandes personajes ingleses de la literatura y de la sociedad de principios del XIX, mezclados en una trama divertida y disparatada.
Lo recomiendo mucho, sobre todo para niños, pero también para adultos que gustan de lo ingenioso y creativo (como yo).
Eso de tener por padre a Byron y vivir en un palacete embrujado me parece realmente notable xD
Resumen: una joyita de libro, inteligente, gracioso y divertido :)

Ghastly Gorm hosts a literary dog show. Famous novelists and their pets are invited to compete in these really weird but totally cute activities. However, a curious canine surprise is about to be revealed...
There are so many literary references but served in a really unique way like Hands Christmas Andersen or Homily Dickinson.
The illustrations are just fabulous. Again! I don't think I have ever read a book with more magnificent artwork!

Gorgeous, delightful and bonkers, this latest installment of the Goth Girl series features not only the Bronte sisters but also DOGS. A perfect Christmas story for literary nerds young and old.

Tässä oli kyllä niin paljon naamioituja kirjallisuusviittauksia että aivoni meinasivat nyrjähtää...
Kontrasti tyylikkäiden kuvien ja täyskahelin tekstin välillä on todella suuri. Tässä vaan jotenkin oli liikaa kaikkea. Tuli ähky.
Mutta tiedän ainakin yhden nelosluokkalaisen joka odottaa jo seuraavaa osaa kuin kuuta nousevaa... :D

J'aurai sans doute mis une meilleure note si, dans toute la galerie d'auteurs classiques que Riddell parodie ici, les deux seules avec qui il est vraiment méchant (de manière un peu déplacée dans un roman destiné à un public aussi jeune d'ailleurs je trouve) n'avaient pas été Jane Austen et Virginia Woolf. Ça m'a vraiment sortie du bouquin, alors que tout le reste est vraiment très drôle et très malin, et c'est dommage. Une chouette histoire pour lecteurs en herbe malgré tout.

Uno de mis libros preferidos es el primero de Ada Goth. Por desgracia no puedo decir lo mismo de los siguientes, a ido perdiendo calidad y me explico.
El tomo uno fue el mejor, luego el dos fue largo para acabar de forma apresurada y abrupta, una pena. Este estuvo mejor que el segundo y aunque el conflicto y final fueron algo rápido también, no lo fue abrupto como el tomo anterior.
Solo espero que el cuarto merezca la pena ya que no valdría la pena leerse más a excepción de primero y esto se debe también a la decaída del dibujo. Si uno se fija bien e incluso en las portadas, los personajes van decayendo en diseño hasta que incluso en este tomo ya los ves distintos o de aspecto extraño.
Entiendo que en el primero quisiera volcar todo y hacerlo perfecto, pero es una lástima que siendo solo cuatro tomos no conservara el mismo nivel tanto de dibujo como de la trama.
Esperemos a ver que tal el cuarto.

Ehkä vain neljän tähden kirja, mutta lukuisat kirjallisuusviitteet fingerporiaanisine sävyineen ja ihastuttava kuvitteellisen menneen ajan henki sekä se fakta, että viimeisimmästä viiden tähden spektaakkelista on jo hitusen tekevät tästä, jos ei täydellisen, niin ainakin superhienon nuortenkirjan. Jos Ada ei olisi a) kuvitteellinen ja b) alaikäinen niin kosisin.

We Have a love for Chris Riddell & Neil Gaiman. This book, like his others was excellent. Funny, entertaining and has nods to the adults who might be reading their kids books ;-) can't wait for the next in the series.

4.5 stars! Another brilliant Goth Girl novel, this time with famous writers and others.
A really snack bite review, I really want to write at least a bit about this book, but not many words are coming out of my head (as I normally have when I want to review a book).
I have been anxiously waiting for a new book in this series. It has great characters, fun illustrations, and each book has its own theme. This one is all about literature and also about dogs. You will find several famous classic writers (and also some newer one *cough*Chris Riddell and Chris Priestley) in this book. I really loved how the names were changed, you could still recognize them, even with their names and booktitles Chris Riddelled, and I love the addition of Chris Riddell and Chris Priestley themselves.
The dog show was really fun and entertaining.
The only things that I didn't particularly like are 2 things. For one I didn't like how the father acted. He wouldn't listen to Ada, and was instantly jumping to conclusions. I know, it is the time this takes place in, but couldn't he at least have listened? Normally I find him really sweet, but he couldn't seem to be nice to Ada at all, he was just disappointed and acted all stuffy around her.
I also didn't like the monkeys. The book is already full of magic and weird stuff, and I felt the monkeys were just a bit too much.
All in all though, I would highly recommend this book to everyone, be sure to also read the others, this book does touch on some of the other books, so previous knowledge would be handy to have.

Cool , quirky and easy-to-read book in between the heavier stuff.
Chris Riddell's tale Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright is my first Goth girl book (and supposedly not the best of the 4) but was really fun and ridiculous.
First off , the aesthetic appeal of this book was immense for me. The amazing colored pages , the booklet in the back , the eye-catching cover , the bookmark and the awesome gold embellishment on the inside of the cover. A lot of work had gone into the design and it pays off.
I absolutely LOVED the illustrations and think it's a wonderful addition to the book.
Despite being a children's book, it would relate to a lot to adults in a way as there are references they would enjoy as well and I found myself wondering once or twice if I (as a kid) would have understood or have been able to pronounce some words.
The only complaint I have is that the book could've done with 1 less "It is a truth universally..". The quote got a bit annoying after a while. I understand it is a reflection of the character but I personally felt a hint of over-use.
Simple , charming , funny and hugely creative. It was great.
I will definitely read the others!

Ada Gootti -kirjat ovat vallan erinomaisia. Intertekstuaaliset väännökset ovat veikeitä. Kreivitär Peppi Pitkätossu Muumi-koiransa kanssa ja Hanska-Risto Andersen ja monet muut. Oi kuinka herkullista. Lapset ja nuoret lukijat eivät välttämättä tunnista kaikkia, mutta ei se kirjan lukemista estä tai tee siitä huonompaa lukukokemusta. Ihania kirjoja.

Nu am mai citit de mult, nici pentru mine, nici pentru copii, o carte care să mă obosească atât de tare, o carte care să nu aibă nimic de-a face cu titlul ei sau cu ce se anunță a fi.
Domnișoara Goth nu este nici pe departe goth, răscrucea groazei...o cauți, dar nu apare decât poate așa...pierdută pe final, mai mult în ceea ce îți imaginezi, decât în ceea ce scrie Chris Riddell despre ce poate fi groază. Acum na...fiind o carte pentru copii, nu mă așteptam să mă tem să sting lumina, dar nici la înșiruiri de descrieri ale unor decoruri din nenumărate saloane din reședința domnișoarei Goth, nici la atâtea aluzii care mai de care mai subtile sau nu la diverși autori, precum surorile Bronte, Andersen, la diverse scrieri pe care nici copiii englezi mulți nu le cunosc, darămite cei români, așa încât nu știu la ce a mai fost tradusă această carte...în fine...peste asta puteam sări, dar cartea nu este despre goth, nu este despre răscrucea groazei. Cartea prezintă...ce poate fi mai...pfff....în fine...prezintă un...concurs literar-canin...și cu asta...am spus tot. Și...credeți-mă...cum am spus-o eu, sună interesant. Dacă vreți să vă plictis...pardon...enerva...pardon, convingeți, citiți - o! Dar mai bine, beți un pahar cu vin, culcați copiii cu o poezie și sunteți mai câștigați. Sau...even better : puneți ochii pe altă carte!!!
Ps: ca să nu mai spun că apar o tonă de personaje care nu fac mai nimic prin carte, doar fac mai greu de urmărit de se petrece pe acolo. Nume, nume, nume...alte nume...
Îi dau o stea pentru minunatele ilustrații.

10 vuotias tyttäreni haastoi minut lukemaan Ada Gootti kirjan, ne ovat hänen lempikirjojaan. Kirjan tarina on hauska ja mielikuvitus lentää. Isokokoinen teksti tekee lukemisen helpoksi sekä kuvitus tekee kirjasta viihdyttävän. Näin aikuisena en pääse aivan tyttäreni tasolle ja saa samaa lukukokemusta mitä hän. Toisaalta itse olin saman ikäisenä enemmän heppakirjojen ja salapoliisikirjojen ystävä, kuin Ada Gootti tyyppisten kirjojen. Joten en niin paljon innostunut tästä sarjasta.
