Confessions of a D-List Supervillain by Jim Bernheimer

4.0

I am so glad my husband suggested I read this one. Once upon a time Calvin Stringel was a promising young mechanical engineer. After getting burned by employer, and several bad decisions and years later he is now known as the modest supervillian MechaniCAL. Only now the world finds itself being taken over by parasitic mind-controlling bugs and because of his metal suit, Cal seems to be one of the few people unaffected. After managing to save an A-list superheroine and enough of her friends to save the world, life is turned upside down for Cal. Suddenly he's one of the good guys and when it comes to everyday choices between good and evil, it's harder for Cal to come down on the right side of the line. Add in another super who's carrying a major grudge and a complicated relationship with a super-hottie and this entertaining little gem will keep you engaged through to the fake-out ending.

My husband was offended when I compared this to Dr. Horrible, but if you've got a soft spot for villians who aren't so much evil as a little bruised, you'll like this book.
