My dorky review on the sequel to “Geekhood; Close encounters of the girl kind”, “Geekhood; Mission improbable” By Andy Robb

Much like its predecessor, “Geekhood; Mission improbable” follows a socially awkward fourteen- year old named Archie, who still needs to the win the heart of his leading lady, Sarah, a beautiful goth girl. But, as Archie’s progress with Sarah dwindles to nothing, he starts to get desperate and soon concocts a devious scheme to win the heart of the one he loves. But, our main character soon realises how doomed the plan really is and very quickly his lie starts to cave in. Will the devious scheme work on his beloved Sarah, or will it all end in tears? This book is as marvelous as its predecessor, giving a true insight to a more unique and individual social group, whilst capturing the heartache and plight of the everyday teenager and wrapping it up in a deliciously tender plot. Also, it teaches the lesson that devious plans and tricks will never beat the straight-forward and honest way of handling love. This novel makes an astoundingly strong connection with its target audience, and the emotional and physical connection it makes with the individual reader is so strong that its tear-jerking, heart-wrenching, yet hilarious and up-beat plot will still be with long after you turn the final page. However, unlike its predecessor, Archie could stand as a role model to the average teenager, and teaches a fantastic lesson of self-acceptance, standing up for what you believe in, and above all that the bonds of friendship are more important than ever and the love you share with a friend is a thousand times stronger than the love you may share with your teenage sweetheart. I recommend this book to any teenager who feels the heartache of a lost lover, any teenage boy who needs a good laugh, any teenage girl who wants to understand the mind of the adolescent male, and anyone who enjoys a deliciously tender plot that perfectly grasps the heart leaping excitement and the gut-wrenching agony of being a teenager. This novel pleas to the geek that’s hiding inside each and everyone one of us, and encourages to let our inner-geek show. I heartily recommend this book!

My Nerdy Review on the Teen read “Geekhood; Close encounters of the girl kind” By Andy Robb

“Geekhood; Close encounters of the girl kind” follows a socially awkward fourteen-year old named Archie, who goes through a mental journey of  discovery and self-acceptance throughout the course of the novel. As hinted in the title, Archie is a Geek to his core and gives the reader an insight and an understanding to a more individual and unique social group, whilst also capturing the plight of an everyday teenager and wrapping it up in a tender plot. The connection the book makes with the target audience is astonishing and the personal and emotional connection the book makes with the individual reader is also something to be applauded for. The book also captures the painful truths of first love in a gentle and kind manner whilst also harshly exposing those painful truths of being in love, especially when you’re a teenager! This book not only shows that Archie is capable of self-acceptance but also that the reader can self-accept, too. And that is why this is such an amazing teen read, I recommend it to all the struggling teenagers out there!
