Reading self-published novels is seldom more rewarding than a tedious chore. They're generally poorly written, poorly plotted, poorly proofed, poorly printed, and just poorly executed all around. So I'm excited to say James Maxey's Burn Baby Burn is none of the above! While it does lack the polish that a publishing house complete with a full staff of professional editors, copyeditors, and proofreaders could provide, it still manages to be both immensely readable and insanely enjoyable. With that extra layer of polish, Burn Baby Burn could be a truly great novel. Or at least a great super power novel, as I doubt anyone not interested in the genre would enjoy it. That's the book's only real flaw: that it is unlikely to be accessible to anyone outside its built in target audience. Overall Burn Baby Burn is fun, action-packed, humorous, and, at times, philosophical. In other words, it's everything you could ask for from super power fiction outside of four colors.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say that it is better in just about every way than the first book.I've always been a sucker for books where the lines of good and evil are not clear-cut. Sunday was brainwashed by her father. Pit was damaged and confused. Servant/Ogre was a conflicted bully. None of them were completely innocent, nor were they completely guilty.The nods to [b:Nobody Gets the Girl|397756|Nobody Gets the Girl (Whoosh! Bam! Pow!, #1)|James Maxey|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1323069347s/397756.jpg|387219] were nice, while I appreciated that no knowledge of the first book was required in order to enjoy the second book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Sundancer is a militant radical who channels the heat and light of the sun, capable of melting steel and vaporizing anyone who stands in her way. Pit Geek is seemingly immortal, able to survive any injury, but haunted by fragmented memories. Together, these supervillains launch a crime spree bold enough to threaten the world's economy.To stop them, the government authorizes a new band of superheroes known as the Covenant to hunt down the menaces. Sundancer and Pit must learn to rely on one another as never before if they're to escape the heroes that hound them. When they finally run out of places to hide, can mankind survive the conflagration when Sundancer unleashes the full force of her solar powers? "Burn Baby Burn has an incredibly high cool things per page quotient. Maxey crams more fresh ideas in a chapter than most books have altogether. That plus kick-ass action scenes and I found it hard to put down."--Maya Lassiter, author of Toby Streams the Universe"The most genuine fun I've had with a superhero story since watching The Incredibles."--Lon Prater, author of Roads Like These Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
