V is for Villain is a quick read, mirrored to the movie Sky High. The children of superheroes all go to the
same academy; however, if your powers are not super and you are not an
excellent fit (basically a conformist and one who worships heroes) than you are
sent to the alternative school… and known as an A-hole. This is what has happened to our main
character Brad. Being the younger
brother of one of the well-known and worshiped heroes out there, life has never
been great for him, especially since he doesn’t have any superpowers of his
own. Being dumped into the alternative
program only proves that he is a disappointment to his family, but then he
begins to hang out with a group of other A-holes and starts questioning the
system of justice vs what the heroes call justice. Slowly but surely, the questioning beings to
form into action.
There is a lot going on in this short read, but not so much
that you cannot follow what is going on.
Between genetics, heroes vs villains, and sibling rivalry there are a
lot of aspects for every audience to enjoy.
I am curious to see if this is a standalone, because the book lends
perfectly into creating a platform for a long series of villains vs
heroes. If you like action and sarcastic
wit, you will definitely be pleased with this selection.
Thanks NetGalley, 3 out of 5 stars.
