Are you tired of the villains being portrayed as weaklings or the heroes always coming out on top? Then take my word for it when I suggest Lucky is the book for you.

Lucky is a book written by Spare Time Novels with the sole purpose of entertaining the reader. It is quite a small book, with 112 pages and 26 chapters. The story begins with John Woods, the protagonist, later known as Darkwoods, fleeing from jail after mistakenly setting a building on fire while attempting to impress a girl (this made me laugh so hard). He eventually managed to escape, but that part wasn't difficult. The entire thrill of the book was what happened following the escape. Do you want to know more? Give the book a try.

This book satisfied me in every way. I couldn't help but smile as I read this book; it was contagious. The author's name, Spare Time Novels, immediately piqued my interest in this book. Regarding how I feel about this book, I have to say that it brightened my day. Although it makes me think of "DC movies", I adore the entire plot. This book's irony was yet another intriguing aspect for me. Some people who have read this book would argue that the main character, Darkwood, was excessively aggressive and illogical, but I beg to differ. Despite the brutality with which he accomplished his tasks, all he did ultimately served the interests of the city he cherished.

The main character, Darkwood, also happens to be my favourite. Even though he had a short fuse and would kill or destroy everything that stood in his way without giving it a second thought, he just wanted the city's residents, who paid high taxes, to be able to live their lives in peace. I might be toxic in this regard, but I liked the violence in this book. I felt a surge of support each time Darkwood killed someone in style (me yelling, "Yes!!! He deserves to die!"). Aside from Darkwood, Mr Acid was the other character I loved. Despite being the gang's leader, he was always calm and collected in his actions.

This book was outstanding. There were no mistakes or flaws that I could detect in the book. It was well edited. In all the fun and joy of the book, there was a quote that struck me: "Life has no turns, It's just life, Whether you are wrong or right, it's just life." In actuality, we are the ones who decide what kind of life we lead.

The book was flawless, as was already mentioned, and I didn't find anything negative about it. Thus, I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars.

People who appreciate the thrill of violence and those looking for the ideal book to make them laugh should read this book. However, I do not recommend it for those who dislike violence.

It's rare to find books with a twist like these, where the villains are the main focus. Reading your review has piqued my interest and I'm going to try out this book.

The cover page and title are captivating. I liked that you enjoyed reading the book and that the book is filled with violence and laughter. Wonderful review, welldone!!!

I’m glad to hear this. Oftentimes I identify more with the villain than the hero. Many times his actions are justified, at least in my mind. I want Darkwoods to be able to help the people of the city.

I would have criticized the attribute portrayed by the main character, but thinking the other way, he was doing that with the right motive.
