martha_w 's review for:

Superpowers by David J. Schwartz

2.0

---

I was very disappointed by this book. The premise seemed interesting--five college kids wake up one morning with superpowers. Unfortunately, it read like crappy fan fiction. The dialog was never quite believable and the characters were not developed very well. To try to disguise a few week points in the book, Shwartz uses asides from the supposed author of the book. But the rest of the book never seems to be written by him.

I gave the book two stars instead of one because there were definitely some interesting ideas. They just weren't executed very well.
