Death of a Superhero by Anthony McCarten

3.0

This book is a fascinating read about a difficult subject, the upcoming death of a teenager. It has large portions written as they were a film script, with the placement (interior, exterior) of the scene and then either dialogue or narrative. I think the balance is well done - had it been more of the script-style writing I wouldn't have been able to read it with any pleasure. As it is, this approach seems really well suited to giving multiple points-of-view and I like the depth thus created.

Funnily, I didn't really like the book, but I am pleased to have read it.
