Pleasantly surprised

The genre is outside What I usually listen to, but it hooked me pretty much from the first chapter. The “hero” Is a simple man, who appears to simply want to be left alone to live his life, but as usually happens, life has other ideas. The story is well written, and the narration is top shelf. As a non Brit, it was a bit difficult at times to understand what was being said though, but it added some authenticity to the program. Well done! Looking forward to parts 2 and 3!

A punchy blend of wit and wonder!

Fun and interesting concept twist on a superhero

Overall I enjoyed this book, it kept my interest and made me want to find out how everything turned out in the end. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the series as well. the only to real draw backs for me personally were the lengthy sex depictions that to me didn't add anything to the story, and the narrator, although I was able to somewhat grow accustom as I listened. all in all, not a bad listen.

Definitely Not Your Average Superhero

Enjoyed story about Simon and his journey to superhero-hood. Didn't particularly like the story telling from the point of view of an unknown person, who seemed to know absolutely everything about Simon and his life, although at the end it became more understandable for that choice. The sex scenes did absolutely nothing for the story. The narrator took some getting used to, but in the end, I really liked getting to know Simon and his quirks and bumblings in becoming an unwitting superhero.
I received this book free in return for an honest review.
