Ricardo V. (Travillion) reviewed on 12/5/2006 + 7 more book reviews

The ending drags but this is an excellent retelling of Superman's origin. There is some seriousness to it, making references to the Depression, fascism and lynchings, but the overall tone is pure pulp. Not a lot of action, in fact, Superman really doesn't show up until the last 100 pages, but still a great read and I kind of wish they made this into a movie instead.
