How Received: author
If you're somebody like Shelby Chappelle, a smart, witty, pretty geek army of one, you can't just put a poster up at school and advertise for somebody to be your best friend. But now freakishly tall Becca Gallagher has moved to town, with her dragon tattoo and wild ideas. Suddenly Shelby's madscientist father and their robot, Euphoria, seem normal. They become best friends instantly. But Becca wants to shake things up at school and look for "others of our kind"...and decides to form the Queen Geek Social Club.
The thing is, this guy Fletcher Berkowitz keeps nosing around, asking lots of questions about the Club. He's cute, and interesting, and possibly likes Shelby. Therefore, she must torture him. One good thing about being a loner: no one can break your heart.
I had high hopes for this book - it looked really good - and I'm pleased to say I wasn't disappointed. I mean, with a name like The Queen Geek Social Club, how can you possibly go wrong!?
O.M.G. I loved this book to the point of no return. Everything, from the way the story is told to the subtitles of the chapters, is perfect and funny. I was able to relate to every single character. I was also able to relate all of my friends to every single characters...
IE: Samurai = Becca
Arianna = Shelby
Anna = Amber
Myself/Megan = Elisa
Why do I put myself along side Megan as Elisa? Good question! The answer is simple - nobody loves Johnny Depp like I do.
All in all, though, I wasn't able to put it down. The characters were realistic, the book funny, and everything spoke truth about the world we live in.
The Queen Geek Social Club or Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging?: The Queen Geek Social Club wins it. Actually, it'd probably win it over any other book like it. It's too good.
Rating: 10.1 out of 10.

My friend just finished this book and I've been wanting to read it so bad! I have to go pick myself up a copy ASAP!
ReplyDeletei've been wanting to read this, but haven't heard anything about it! i will have to be getting a copy soon! great review!
ReplyDeleteLiv: You remind me of my friend The Bookworm, lol. She nearly tackled me to get the book when I said I was finished...
ReplyDeleteT.S.S.: Thanks. ^^ You should get a copy, it's a great book. AND it fits in most purses! Bonus. =]
I saw this at the bookstore and was SOOO close to getting it. But then I was worriedthat it wouldn't be that great :(
ReplyDeleteBut now I'll definetely check it out ;)
Isn't the title awesome?! I really liked the sequel too so enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteOMG...this book sounds so great! I'm going to get it immediately. Oh, and BTW: I love Johnny Depp more than you. He was actually very much on the brain--along with pretty much every crush I've ever had--when I created Wade Houston (you'll see :).
ReplyDeleteRR: Definetely get it. ^^
ReplyDeleteEm: I'm sooo close to being done with the sequel - it's antagonizing. -stares- Must... read...
Alexa: I'd trade a good book for Johnny Depp, you can't possibly love him more than I do. And it's a must read. ^^
Wow, it sounds so awesome! It's been on my wishlist but I hadn't yet heard anything that made me want to get it asap. Both Geek books will probably be included in my next order. Great review!
ReplyDeleteAmbeen: Definitely worth the money. ^^ Thanks!
