Once chapter 3 starts, the book really picks up and becomes quite hard to put down. Yes, the plot is rather predictable and we all know Emmett will sooner rather than later become involved in the mysterious Supers world. Since I have read so few superhero books, this story feels fresh to me. I liked it how Supers in this world tend to be very lowkey and the only time most people will encounter one is during a battle where they might end up injured. So, it makes sense Emmett feels lured by them despite having a very normal and totally untragic childhood. I am liking all the important characters so far: Lock (who I have a hunch will become a supervillain because he just gives those vibes), Clara, and Dr. Venture with his disdain for decent pizza cuisine.
Now that I have finished the book, I dare say despite being a story that seems to have been done before, I enjoyed the execution, the characters and the interesting variety of superowers. It felt most refreshing Emmett is a weakling among so many invincible titans and he is well aware of his limits.
Despite loving the overall story and characters, I did feel the middle to be very sluggish with far too many chapters focusing on Emmett's beginner training. The reader could skip two chapters and would still understand the rest of the book. Other than that and the beginning that could use more polishing, I enjoyed reading this book quite a lot and would be interested in reading the sequel when I have the chance.… (altro)
