*insert evil laugh*
Title: Soon I Will Be Invincible
Author: Austin Grossman
Year Published: June 2008
Publisher: Vintage Books
Plot Summary: This book follows the story of two different individuals, both with 'super powers.' Dr. Impossible is an evil genius, and all he wants is to take over the world. Fatale is a cyborg and the newest member of the superhero team 'The New Champions.' We follow them through their hopes, plans, and frustrations as they strive to accomplish their goals.
Why I recommend the book: This book is so funny. The author looks at the usual stereotypes of super hero stories and uses them to entertain. I really enjoyed the 'Dr. Impossible' part of the story, but was a little bored with the 'Fatale' side. It's still worth a read, even if the ending is a little vague.
