~ MY REVIEW ~
**4 stars**
A fast-paced,
thrilling, comics-like tale of superheroes and supervillains, Superhero of the Day
(Supervillain of the Day 2.1) definitely catches the attention.
Jeffery Lewis Floyd
is the Defender of Earth, tracking down and dismantling supervillains across
London. Everything is going fine and dandy until Mr. Blue-Cloak superhero shows
up … (actually Brandon), and challenges things Floyd once never paid mind to.
With the Destroyer—with skin like a brick wall, faster-than-light dude,
Metallica, and even a pretty lady named Jane, things are about to get much more
personal and dangerous than Floyd ever wanted.
Superhero of
the Day immediately drew me in with its humor and silly wit. I had fun reading
the cranky banter between Floyd and Brandon, and also the crazy conversations
with the villains. This book made me think of those comics magazines I used to
read (about spiderman, sand-man, superman and all that!). The action was
satisfying. Farther into the book, things changed from humorous to quite dangerous,
including near-deaths for the kidnapped, so I would recommend caution for younger
readers. Also, there were a few swear words, which I could have done without!
There was a fair amount of killing supervillains and a little bit of a seemingly
lack of respect for life as well (which is not my preferable thing to read).
But all in
all, Superhero of the Day by Katie Lynn Daniels was a fun experience for me,
despite the fact that this is not my usual book genre. A quick, exciting read …
I may just have to read more of this series, SUPERVILLAIN OF THE DAY!
