Starter Villain

While the synopsis of this book makes it sound like it's action-packed, a large part of the novel is pretty mundane as our main character Charlie learns about his uncle's supervillain business. Despite this, Scalzi manages to find humor and entertainment in something that sounds very dull.

There is action at some point and it's worth getting through the beginning. Even better, the ending is surprisingly heartwarming for being about a guy inheriting a supervillain business.

Along the way, there are some small chuckles to be had and writing that is very easy to read.

Great book to pass the time and would recommend!

Classic Scalzi. Funny and fastpaced, a great, quick escapist read.

Because of the content and themes is may not be suitable for the younger end of the young adult readers. There is murder, mayhem, alluded sexual acts and over the top humour. Oh there are cats also. Quick, fun read, though there is comments about the treatment and abuse of women and the consumer society. Oh yes greed.

A very entertaining read...which is why I finished it so quickly.
