All My Friends Are Superheroes

Rating:
Summary: Being regular is super!
Review: A friend who gave me this book called it "a cute little book," and while he wasn't trying to stop me from reading it, he almost did. And he was right, but in the best way he could be. This is indeed a "cute, little" book, being both short (just over 100 pages) and cute (meaning light-hearted and funny). It's a sweet urban love story that is both surprisingly clever and unexpectedly poignant. More than anything else, though, this is a wildly funny and inventive little book that you'll want to recommend to both your friends and enemies, superheroes or not.

Summary: Simply satisfying
Review: All My Friends Are Superheroes by Andrew Kaufman is like getting the exact helping of your favourite food the very moment you crave it.

An excellent read that stands up over time. I first read it late last year and recently took it with me on a road trip. Despite knowing exactly how things turned out I found myself falling for the characters again.

You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to Kaufman's next work.

Do yourself a favour and buy 2 copies of this book. That way you won't have to give yours away.

Summary: This book has everything.
Review: It's cliché, but this book made me laugh, made me cry, and everything in between. Despite its shortness, this book will draw you into the lives of the characters and their stories. You will be quietly cheering Tom and the Perfectionist along on their journey.

Andrew Kaufman has such a lovely style that even single sentences are a pleasure to read. These sentences then develop into character depictions that are believeable. I would and do highly recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: Being regular is super!
Review: Kaufman does a good job of showing how being a regular guy can be special. Following Tom, who has become invisible to his wife, the story tells his experiences with the superheroes of Toronto. Descriptions of the character's superheroes friends are also included throughout the book and it is brilliant how Kaufman can make an unexceptional behaviour a super power.
Overall a very enjoyable and fun read.
