That was like the most awesome thing omg.

- First of all, DOREEN. She's literally a ball of energy and sunshine and life and I just really want her to be my friend. :D I related to her a lot with her struggle of being Squirrel Girl.Squirrel Girl was something she had made up in her head, and then when she started being the hero, it was like...revealing a very personal part of herself. It's hard, but can also be so, so rewarding. I really liked seeing her struggle with that and cheering her on. :)
- Ana Sofia is so awesome. Like, you don't see many nearly deaf, snarky, detective girls, but I say we need more of them. 'Cause they're awesome. ;)Also, she has a massive crush on Thor which I highly approve of. Yes-ness. AND THEN AT THE END WHEN SHE MEETS HIM. I feel like if I would've been in that situation, I would've keeled over dead. Literally. XD
- Mike. Oh boy.Okay, so like SUPER MIXED FEELINGS. He's a total jerk in the beginning, and then when we find out he's THE MICRO-MANAGER I liked him even LESS. (Although, it was pretty cool, the moment of realization. That was fun. Like, if this book was a movie, that would be the part where everyone in the theater simultaneously gasps. :D But anyway, towards the end, I...I don't know. I kinda pitied him. Like, he just wants to be the baddest super villain ever. CAN'T WE JUST GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS?
- All the squirrels are literally so fabulous omg. I love their chitter-speak (which I couldn't understand half the time but STILL LOVED). Tippy-Toe is possibly the coolest squirrel I've ever known. Really. And also, can we all just appreciate for a moment that Shannon Hale filled AN ENTIRE TWO PAGES WITH THE NAMES OF ALL THE SQUIRRELS. I LOVE IT. :D
- The text messages guys. They completed me. I love.OMGOSH ROCKET TOTALLY PRANKED DOREEN ABOUT TONY. YES. I feel like Tony would not appreciate being called an errand boy. XD
- Basically yes to everything.

-Um...yeah, nothing really. I mean, it's Marvel. You can't expect me to complain. :D
Conclusion
If you're a Marvel fan, I HIGHLY recommend reading this one. It's a quick read, totally awesome, original characters, witty dialogue, and lots of action. This book seriously needs to be a movie. I'd watch it in a heartbeat. :D
