Loading... Soon I Will Be Invincibleby Austin Grossman
Perhaps I would have enjoyed it better if I was a comic-book fan... but it just seemed silly; I like my fiction to be rooted in something believable. (  ) SmartBugger | May 11, 2013 |  A book that looks at the problems superheroes would have to deal with off the pages of the comic book. Very interesting. (  ) castiron | May 10, 2013 | Grossman does a pretty good job of reversing a trend, writing a novel whose plot and characters to have been adapted from superhero comics. It's interesting to read his take on the super villain, superhero thing, but he more or less stays within the limits of the comic book, or graphic novel. My much earlier reading of the Wild Cards paperback series also left me comparing what Grossman does here with what some innovative writers did with the Wild Cards universe some years back. (  ) nmele | Apr 6, 2013 | I often say that contemporary realist fiction is all very well, but WHERE ARE THE KILLER ROBOTS? Well, here they are. The book is about the true lives of superheroes and supervillains, but it's done in a very realistic and literary style. The result--it's sometimes funny and sometimes actually quite touching. Also, the cover art is awesome. (  ) JenneB | Apr 2, 2013 | It's just not grabbing me. :/ GinnyTea | Mar 31, 2013 | no reviews | add a review
