I received this book for free and signed by the author. The book was okay for me. The premise is the main character (named aptly after the author) is drawn into a life of crime to pay for his daughter's medical bills. What ensues is chaos, fighting, murder and all around debauchery. For the rest of the review, visit my blog at: http://angelofmine1974.livejournal.com/78357.html This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. It was a pretty good action book. It was exciting and intriguing. I liked the father and daughter dynamics in the book. However, Drew, the protagonist, is just too damn perfect. He's good looking, can win a fight even if he's outnumbered, a good friend, a good father, etc.Maybe except for having murdered 6 people, he's perfect, unreal. At least, not a lot of romance was involved, that's a plus. This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I enjoyed the second half of this book, but found that the first half dragged on too much. I think this book could do with a good edit and stronger character development. It was quite fun though. This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. Crossing the line between good and evil becomes just another night’s work for the antihero.*** Dad just wants his daughter to beat cancer and get well. To do so, he is willing to kill scumbags for money, in order to pay for her treatment. Follow shallow character as author Blank weaves his way through this unorthodox twist on a vigilante tale. The author’s enthusiasm for advancing the plot is overshadowed by underdeveloped characters that do not remain true to themselves or their place in the plot.
"Overall, I would have to chalk MEMOIRS OF AN ANTIHERO up as one of the most enjoyable reading experiences I have had in a long time. Rarely have I come across something that could make me crack up laughing on one page and bawling like a baby on the next, all riddled with action scenes that make me wince from the brutality. I would have to say, unequivocally, that any true comic fan would be doing themselves a disservice by not giving MEMOIRS a chance."
