Death of a Superhero by Anthony McCarten

1.0

DNF'd at page 50. I was really looking forward to this book based on the reviews, the concept (dealing with a life-threatening illness as a teenager through superheroes), and the style of writing (mixed format of script and novel with some comic book-type elements). I found the writing to be really poetic and interesting. HOWEVER, I found its treatment of women to be disturbing. There are very casual mentions of (TW)
Spoilerrape and necrophilia
within the first 50 pages. While the character is a hormonal teenager and these are painted as fantasy, that is not an excuse to me, as unfortunately, teenage boys can definitely sexually harass and attack teenage girls. So no, I'm good.
