Geeked Out by Obert SkyeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book takes a humorous spin on the dystopian novel. The world hasn’t fallen apart because of aliens or some natural disaster, instead its downfall came from fan-girls. Let’s face it, with how prevalent social media is today and how crazy people are about there favorite ships and fantasy worlds, this type of scenario seems more realistic than most of the others. Still out there enough that you don’t feel threatened by the possibility, but close enough that you can understand the issues the heroes face.
L.A.M.E. is what happens when a group of kids in the new version of the A.V. club have an interaction with some goop and spiders giving them super powers that are not so super. I have to admit, even though their powers are not the greatest things ever, I still wouldn’t mind having some of them.
This book is a fun look into what happens when a bunch of geeks suddenly have the chance to make an impact in the world they live in. What’s the best way to go about living their normal lives and their secret lives when fan-girls with phones ready are everywhere?
