Thoroughly enjoyable, and inevitably I have to compare it to Perry Moore's YA coming-of-age story 'Hero'. They released in the same summer, and both incorporate (and rely heavily on) classic superhero tropes. Both authors injected a modern sense of the social fallout that the high-celebrity status o...
Soon I will be Invincible is the story of a a supervillain Doctor Impossible and his ongoing quest to become well, invincible. Actually his quest is to win out over his various nemeses and enemies - trouble is, he's the kind of guy that not only needs to win, everyone else has to lose.The story is a...
There's nothing terribly new or original here. It was a fun, fast-paced superhero story that doesn't quite hit the mark in terms of originality or innovation. It read like an indie graphic novel in a "new universe" setting -- the characters are all a lot like those we've seen for years, just with di...
some surprisingly strong writing in this oddball offering from the most gutter of gutter sub-genres. meta playfulness with the iconic figures of superman/batman/wonder woman is to be expected in today's post-post-modern world, and the novel satisfies on that level. less expected is the charmingly wr...
I expected so much more from this book. Maybe I was lured in by the cover, I have a bit of a weakness for Superheroes and this book has a great comic book cover.It's told in alternate chapters by Doctor Impossible (the Evil Genius) and Fatale (a cyborg who is invited to join a group of superheroes)...
If we could give half stars, I would give this 3.5. It was good, and worth it, especially if you are in to comics and/or parody/tongue-in-cheek humor.There were just some pacing problems and coherency issues, this back and forth attempt to keep the crux of some things secret, which at times was mor...
3.5 stars -- a guilty pleasure for geeks. Grossman's novel skips between the POV of a hero and a villain -- one a novice, the other experienced at trying to take over the world. Ultimately, novels about superheros lack the excitement of comics or films because of the fact that nothing is visual. Gro...
I've got to say, I really enjoyed this book. Not being a comic book geek, or even a superhero buff, I picked this up on a whim at the library. My review was probably helped in that I started reading this the day after I saw "Hancock" with Will Smith.Anyhoo, mix a bit of Hancock, and some of Disney's...
