I love underrabbits, too. 🐇

I love superhero stories, even if they are quite cheesy at times. The poor editing is a pity, but I might still check this book out. Thanks for the review!

My favorite characters are Harry, Hermione and Fred&George.

I love fantasy but the way you described it, this book might be too teeny for me. However, I like the idea of taking an ordinary boy and turning him into a hero of the story. I hope they take your advice and do another round of editing to this book. Thanks for your lovely review!

Wow, the book seems to be quite unique (Chronos is a rare superheroes' maker), but so sorry it has so many issues. Thank you for a very insightful review! :)

Thank you for your balanced review! It seems like the book has interesting premises, too bad it has aspects that need to be improved.

Reading your review intrigued me, as the blurb has intrigued you. I also like underdogs, although I find it complicated to create a story without falling into clichés.

Seems like quite the interesting book, shame much of the potential is tampered by the lack of intriguing characters. Excellent review as always, I hope the author takes your criticism and improves the story.
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

The only person who can sympathize with and understand you, is you. So, be good to yourself.

I'm probably too old for this book and, to be honest, the summary gives me a "been there, done that" feeling. Thank you for your honest review!

Now that he’s the Extraordinary Man, I hope Joy is by his side. It sounds like unraveling the idioms requires a superpower too! Thanks for your take on this tale of teen turmoil. :gift: :balloon:

Despite its low rating, this book still is appealing. I like that the main character is no cliche copy work.
Nice review.
