Review of 'Soon I will be invincible' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Despite some of the negative reviews here, I loved this book.
Yes, it is full of comic-book cliches. That's sort of the point.
Since I love superheroes, but refuse to pay stupid prices for comic books that are read in 5 minutes, I have been looking for supers novels for some time.
This one definitely fit the bill. Cliched? Yes. Good anyway? Yes. Did I have to keep looking at the cover so I didn't imagine Dr Impossible looking like Dr Horrible? Yes.
Come to this book like a 10 year old boy picking up a Superman comic and you won't be disappointed. Come to it expecting something deep and meaningful and reflecting all aspects of the human condition and ... well, you shouldn't.
Austin, thanks heaps for this book. I can't wait to read more.
