About the book:
Freedom's fifteen minutes are over!
Software pirates! Mostly extinct dinosaurs! Giant barbarians! Crooning criminals! Captain Freedom's beat them all, saved the world, and looked fantastic doing it—but he couldn't fend off middle management.
The Superhero lifestyle is all that Captain Freedom has ever known. What's he supposed to do now? Enter politics? Write a children's book?
Freedom's in a bad way and he's only a stint in rehab away from a lifetime of celebrity reality shows. But with the guidance of his new life coach, maybe Freedom can stumble in a new direction—even if it means having to make peace with his parents . . . or finally commit to a single long-term archenemy.
What I thought:
I saw the cover of this book on someone else’s blog and thought it looked interesting enough to pick up for myself. (I know you should never judge a book by its cover). It’s got superheroes, archenemies, and time machines to name a few. This first novel by humorist G. Xavier Robillard makes fun of everything in this pop culture society of ours. Captain Freedom struggles with finding a job, wanting to be loved, writing his memoirs and get recognition for saving the world which he does a few times. It is quick paced and a fast read. Although I am a comic book reader and love pop culture, this satirical view of the superhero world was just okay.
