“Panama can’t understand why she always has to be the one the other kids make fun of. Yeah, maybe she’s poor and they’re not, and maybe she makes a few off the wall fashion decisions, but hell, it’s not like she’s going to fit in anyway. At least she’s smarter than most, smart enough to get picked for an after-school project with the hottest teacher alive. Of course, that doesn’t mean she was expecting the make-out session her teacher initiated, nor was she expecting to end up with a broken neck.
Now, the only entertainment she gets is watching her life unfold as a stranger’s avatar. But hey, she’s got a hot body, and for the first time, she isn’t an outcast. Although, that probably has to do with the fact Panama has no control over what she says and does. Heck, maybe she doesn’t even want to be in control.
Then again, its kind of creepy being forced to have a relationship with another dead body.
Heartwarming and comical, I, Avatar is about a young girl trying to fit in to a world where the deceased are altered and sold as avatars for the gaming industry. Best liked by readers who enjoy books similar to Warm Bodies, by Isaac Marion, or the popular TV series, Dead Like Me. Recently featured in Storyteller magazine.”
Other failings aside, it always baffles me when I see a cover image squished down like this instead of cropped. Did someone think the empty space on either side of her head and all of… whatever that is underneath was so essential to the composition that it was better to put her face out of proportion than to sacrifice those margins?
In this case, I’m going to guess it was an intentional effect to indicate that she’s being squeezed into this other person. Still bad, but I don’t think this one was just because someone didn’t know to click the “lock aspect ratio” button.
Uh, NO. I don’t know what’s heartwarming about a teen that has a makeout session with her teacher and ends up dead. Or comical. Speaking of Dead Like Me, that’s a young woman that got conked by a toilet that fell out of the space station, or whatever. Not knocked off by a sexually predating paedophile, and then used as an avatar in a gaming environment. Oh, boy, what lighthearted fun!!! Uhr?
Not to mention, this cover looks like she’s peering out from being inundated by a giant pile of poop.
