The Rules of Supervillainy by David Wood, Terry Stewart, Jim Bernheimer, C.T. Phipps
2.0
This book is probably good for someone. But not me.
I did not like the writing style at all. The narrative is written rather complex: more obscure words, interesting sentence structure. But the dialogue is a far polar opposite: incredibly crude, meme-y, slang-heavy, over-the-top silly in a way I found incredibly off-putting. The dichotomy proceeded to make this a very different book for me to read.
Add on top of that that it's also very violent, filled with gore, murder, killing, and plenty else, I have to say it's not to my tastes in many ways. I don't think I would mind it if it was better written (I do love Worm, after all) but altogether I could barely force myself to finish this story.
(Also when he's finally in the super villain prison and forced to team up with the pedophile guy from Prison Break (T-bag) it got especially ick. Good luck to anyone who does want to read this.
