Wonder Woman: Love and Murder by Jodi Picoult
2.0
I wanted to love this book. I really did. A Wonder Woman story written by a well-respected woman writer that was supposed to be full of character development - well, how could you not love it?
Unfortunately, I didn't. Don't get me wrong - I didn't hate it, but I certainly wasn't blown away. The concept is basically that Wonder Woman creates a human secret identity, but has difficulty understanding what it means to be human. Her identity is Diana Prince, secret agent, and she is unlucky enough to get assigned the task of bringing in Wonder Woman for questioning. There is great dialogue and lots of humour, but it was so repetitious! If I am told one more time that her name is Diana Prince, she is a secret agent, but she is really Wonder Woman , I might scream. And the secret weapon of the Amazons? Am I the only one who was disappointed?
