Rating:  Summary: Funnest "How to Book" I've ever read Review: This book is exactly what it sets out to be. The title tells you exactly what this book is about and what to expect from it, which is lots of thought provoking ideas and fun little things to do in the end to start your evil career.This book gives you everything you need to know about creating a villian for a book, movie, comic strip, or even if you wanted to become one yourself. This book gives it all to you in an orderly fashion so as not to be overwhelmed, but still stay very entertaining. Probably the best part about this book is the fact that it gives you all sorts of different villian personas to allow you to choose which bits you want to commit to your villian to and personalize them or become. This book isn't intended to make you go out and do bad things or start an evil empire, but to lighten up the mood that is associated with villians. It makes the line of darkness not look so gloomy anymore. It gives it a fun twist, but still keeps that sick sadistic side still intact. I would really recommend reading this book if you looking for a quick get away from reality, which we all know everyone could use every once and a while. This book goes out of it's way to suck you in at the beggining and then lets you take the rest in and make what you want of it. I hope you enjoyed the book as much as I did and for the steal of a price it's going for it belongs in any comic lovers bookshelf or those that are still a kid at heart.
Rating:  Summary: Very Creative Review: This book made me laugh so hard, I was in tears. Zawacki has obviously conducted a significant amount of research on this topic (i.e. watching an abundance of James Bond and Austin Powers movies as well as reading up on past issues of Marvel comics.) Anybody that grew up reading comic books or watching crime fighters on T.V. will greatly appreciate the book. The overtly sarcastic writing makes it even funnier as well as the way the Zawacki portrays how simple it is to become the next evil villain. If you did not grow up reading comic books or watching cartoons you probably never developed a sense of humor and would not appreciate the book. If you DO have a sense of humor, this book is a must read.

Rating:  Summary: Good Book Review: This is a very good book. I bought it because I liked the cover and what I read quickly from the inside. I read it in one night and love it. It is very funny and intelligent.
Rating:  Summary: In a word ... AWESOME! Review: This is one of the funniest, satirical and engrossing books that I have ever read. I could not put it down and kept laughing all the way through to the end.
The book is essentially a How-To guide for all those people who wish to embrace their darker side and really don't know how to do it. This career guide gives ideas about what type of evil career to embark on based on what your evil goals may be. Especially cool is the section on the Tools of the Trade where the author discusses all of the types of secret lairs and weapons that can be used by the evil mastermind. If you don't know what you want your evil side to be called, there is even a name generator which can give you such names as "Lord Bloodhammer." Also listed are all of the potential henchman that you could pick from to aid in your evil schemes along with ways to combat the forces of good.
This book is an excellent and fun read and a great "reference" manual for anyone bent on world domination!
