Sick to Death by Greg Levin
5.0
Absolutely superb! I haven’t fallen in love with a story like this in so long. It is completely unique. I’ve not read a single vigilante or ‘hero’ book like this, definitely not with the ‘powers’ they have been bequeathed.
I liked that this book took the hero thing to a whole new level. Like the fantastic four, they weren’t born with their ability to save others, but came across it in the progress of life. Sadly, they are in a much more depressing state, that allows them to save others, but their need to save and avoid thinking about their impending doom really makes them characters that you can connect with.
Just like batman, sometimes things go wrong and you are left trying to fix it and pick up the pieces. They find themselves in a position they hadn’t thought possible, when one of their team takes it a bit too far. It is interesting to see how they handle the situation and to see inside their real feelings about the situation.
I found this book a breath of fresh air and a real way to look at the shit in your life and find a way to make it your saviour.
