First Impressions of The Supervillain and Me


Written by: Adrian Tso


When I first picked up the book, I was wondering if I would like the book or not. As I started reading the first couple of pages, it immediately starts off with the protagonist named Abby living in California where they have many people that have mysterious powers that they use for good. Abby has a good eye at looking for key details about the supers to figure out their secret identity. This is because her older brother was chosen to have these special powers, hence his superhero name is “Red Comet”. As she lives with her brother, she isn’t that obsessed with supers compared to everyone in California. Her best friend Summer is described to be the biggest superfan of Red Comet when there is an assembly at their school with Red Comet. We get to find out that Summer doesn’t like Abby’s brother because of a time in the past where he accidentally burped right in Summer’s face. 





After reading a couple chapters, I would say that it is a very enjoyable book to read if you enjoy science fiction novels or if you like reading about superheroes. The author also has the narrator of the story describe the scenes of the book, which helps get a clear vision about what the protagonist is seeing in that moment. There is a bit of action and mystery that develops into this book so those types of genres might convince you to read this book in your free time.

    It's a little short but what is here it good. I like your word choice and the book seems interesting. If you are only a few chapters into this book this is a good essay. Other wise should be longer. I'll check out this book

    Great job Adrian! I like they way you introduced this superhero world and explained your "first impressions" regarding the authors writing after reading some of it. I am a bit curious about what the book's general plot is. Maybe I'll read this book during my free time.
