A quick and interesting read, with characters I liked. The situation is set up well… what do Superheroes do without when they’re the only super people in the world?
The ambivalence of everyone toward the heroes (and their struggle for anonymity) is tough. The ending is just as hard as the rest of the book; one hero is dead, another jailed, and their initial high hopes are laid low.
I can’t explain why it didn’t strike a spark with me. I suspect it has to do with the 9/11 twist at the end– it didn’t match my expectation (despite telegraphing).
