How to Be a Superhero

Summary: This -IS- the funniest book you will ever read!!
Review: Have you ever wanted to be a Superhero? Have you ever dreamed of having your high-flying adventures printed in comic book format, licensed by a fast food chain and made into a million sequels while you fight crime and watch your "pension fund" grow? Then you need this book! I have now bought 4 copies of this book for friends and myself. My copy has been read by so many people, so many times that it has disintigrated. If you don't read this book and laugh, you have no soul! Seriously! You will hurt yourself laughing. If you want to take some time to away from reality and give youself a treat, then this book is for you. And if you don't want that, what's wrong with you? Take this as either a guideline to gaining(and using superpowers) or as a safety guide for life. Afterall, many a superhero has gained their super powers by accident, and maybe you just don't want that happening to you! So stay away from radioactive badgers, be wary of neighbors disguised as the state of Idaho, and never let your robot duplicate have a night alone with your wife.

Summary: Supremely silly
Review: How to become a superhero is probably one of the best books to come out in a long time that spoofs a genre so concisely. Many books try to capture the wry wit that these authors have come by naturally from their experience in Marvel UK.The book possesses the humor of Monty Python combined with the (well sort of) feel of DC or older Marvel comics. This "manual" would be something that you would imagine that the "Tick" would have come by.It's a MUST read for all you comic buffs, and even those who think that superheroes are stupid. It's a wonderfully well thought-out book/how to manual that is looked over all to easily, but shouldn't be missed.

Summary: Funny!
Review: I found this book in an old bookstore in Barnesville, Georgia about 4 years ago. I read it cover-to-cover and laughed each time. It has since been lost, but I remember ever page. Definitely a must-read!

Summary: The Funniest Book I have ever read.
Review: I found this book to be absolutely hillarious, but I suppose the kind of humour is not everyone's cup of tea. If you enjoy obscene, black humour, much like one can find on alt.tasteless.jokes on good day, this book is a definite must. Sure, it's juvenile, but it is fun.

Summary: I am buying my THIRD copy of the book
Review: I have bought this book 2 times already. The first in England, and the second in Canada. My friends keep swiping it from me to read. I will be buying my THIRD copy now, and will keep it under lock and chain

Summary: Funnily enough, I agree with everyone else who reviewed this
Review: I have now had this book for 10 years. It is only now, realising this, that I appreciate the fact that from the age of 12 I have read this book countless times and always been rewarded by fits of laughter. The humour never fades and I can just open the book at any point and read but a couple of pages to cheer myself up. I didn't even understand some of the jokes ten years ago but knew to take good care of 'How to be a superhero' and my tattered copy is still the "superhero" of my book collection - an absolute classic. Blubber on!

Summary: Laughed so hard I hurt myself
Review: My little brother bought me this book a few years ago not knowing what it was, and to this day he regrets not buying it for himself. From the moment you open it you can't help but laugh at the interesting author reader "psycho-active" writting style. If you love comics, you have to have this book. If you love laughing, you have to have this book. If you're a super villan, you have to have this book. And if you're one of my many friends still trying to steal it from me, buy a copy for yourself already!

Summary: Just as funny today as when I first read it
Review: Sure some of the jokes are a little dated, but it still sends me into fits of uncontrollable laughter. The looks I was getting from some co-workers because of the racket I was making and because they read the title of the book is something I will carry to my grave. Too bad it's out of print, they really need to rerelease it. I got my most recent copy from Amazon through a third party selling a used copy and I consider myself lucky to have done so. My first copy was borrowed and never returned. Now I must find some animal to irradiate and force it to bite me so I can get on with it...
