A review by gwydiland
Death of a Superhero by Anthony McCarten
3.0
I am struggling with how to review this book. I was struggling with the style (even though i read it pretty fast), which sometimes took something away from connecting with the characters.
At one point i nearly gave up though because i had the feeling there was no point behind all the focus on 'losing the virginity' as the most important thing for Don. Though there were also parts that made me cry. I did not feel as connected to the characters as i usually do with books like this though. I was also a bit annoyed with Adrian at times and that he really needed a kid to figure out what might be wrong with his current life (it was not that hard to see? IDK).
Overall though i would say it was a good book, though i can see not getting into it because the writing style is very different from usual ones and reads more like a screen play most of the times.
