“Lord Goth is throwing a music festival at Ghastly-Gorm Hall, with performances from the finest musicians in the land. Ada can’t wait, but it’s quite distracting when her grandmother is trying to find her father a fashionable new wife, there’s a faun living in her wardrobe, and Maltravers is up to his old tricks. Ada must make sure everything goes to plan, and luckily help is at hand from a very interesting house guest…”
What were your initial thoughts on the book?
Initially I kept
trying to read more and more books before this one trying to delay it as much
as possible because I didn’t want to read the last book and have no more
adventures to go on with Ada and her friends. Finally I had no more books to
read and decided to stop procrastinating and read the last book of the Goth
Girl series. Although I was sad to read it, nothing could stop me from loving
the book. Like all the books I found the beginning a bit boring as there was a
big recap of stuff, for example, her governesses where listed at the beginning
of every book and re-reading them over and over again was a bit of a nightmare.
Who was your favourite character and why?
My favourite character
was Ada because of how kind and adventurous she is. I really liked that
she didn’t mind her father remarrying like most people usually do and that all she wanted was for her father to be happy. I also really like how brave she is
and that she never gives up even when times get tough. I love that she always
looks out for her friends an that she always likes making new friend no matter
what creature it is; this has proved true in all books as she has always made
interesting friends. One of my favourite things about her is that she has
really good balance and that one of the things she likes doing is tightrope
walking on the roof, which I found very funny and interesting, this hobby makes
Ada a very amusing person.
What was your favourite part of the book and
why?
I really liked the
ending of the book but I would say that it was my favourite part, I think that
I don’t really have a favourite part in this book but the best part was
probably the ending. I always liked the endings of these books because they end
with no intentions of there being another book after it so it never ends in a cliff-hanger
like most of my books or anything like I have read. I never liked cliff-hangers
because if I hadn’t bought the next book I would get very annoyed and want to
read the next book but these books never left me like that. I also found that
the endings were also kind of bad because like the beginning doesn’t really
capture my attention the ending should make you want to read more but they
never did. I liked the ending to Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony because I
found it really cool that it ended in THE END as no books I have read end like
that and it also helped tell me that there wouldn’t be a 5th book
because if it hadn’t have said that it would be difficult to tell.
What was your overall impression of the book?
Overall I really liked
the book and I think that it was great. The book was amazing at some parts but
also a bit boring at others. I found that I had very different thoughts about
the beginning and end of the book. I loved the end and found it really happy, I
think that it was what made the book so amazing but the beginning did the
opposite. I hated the beginning because there wasn’t much happening, the book
just went over what happened in the other books and told us a bit about Ada and
her family. I hated it because it didn’t really catch my attention and if I
hadn’t loved all the other books I would have probably stopped reading it. The
middle of the book was where most of the mystery took place and I really liked
that part so I think that if the start had just been a bit more intriguing it
would have been an amazing book.
Which was your favourite book in the Goth Girl series? (1, 2, 3 or 4)
My favourite book
was the very last one, Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony, because, it really of
the amazing ending! Although I still think that all the other books end really
well, I think that the ending to the last book was better because it shows that
the book series is compete so Ada will finally get some rest after all the
adventures she has been on and mysteries she has had to solve. I can tell that
Ada’s adventures have come to an end because of the fact that this book ends
with the words THE END and the other three do not. This is good but bad too,
good because Ada finally gets an extremely happy ending but, also bad because it
is the end of the series and although I do wish there was more; I think that
Chris Riddell was right to end the series there.
Would you recommend this book?
I would absolutely
recommend this book for children over 11 who like mysteries and if you have
read the first 3 Goth Gil books you definitely want to read this book to end
the series on the happiest ending of all.
Summarise the book in one sentence. (Verdict)
The forth book of the
creative and mysterious series, Goth Girl.
