X-men meets the Breakfast Club? Doesn't that sound exciting or what? I was interested when I heard about The Vindico in the beginning of the year, and I was excited to finally read it when I saw it on the shelves. Unfortunately, The Vindico just didn't work for me on so many levels. The concept was fresh, but the execution was just disappointing. Perhaps it would have been better suited as a lower-middle grade novel rather than young adult with its simple writing style; the plot was fun but also...more

All of the teens have problems-- James has been dumped by his girlfriend, Hayden has been all but abandoned by his mother, Sam is generally insecure, Lana has been making poor life choices, and Emily is more interested in computers than in socializing at school. The teens are all to be mentored by a villain who shares some of their characteristics, and while the conditions aren't horrible, they aren't good. Training is difficult, embarrassing secrets about each teen are revealed to the whole group, and the teens are all torn between wanting to have superpowers and not wanting to be villains. They all still like the League of Heroes, and are distraught when they are involved in a fight where they are compelled to attack members of it. When the group runs into Deanna, who has some powers and is working with the League, they need to figure out how they can corral the Vindico without getting themselves killed, and see if the League will take them back despite their involvement with Vindico's evil plans.
Strengths: There are a lot of students who want to read about super heroes and villains, and there is a growing number of books on the topic. This holds up well with Walden's H.I.V.E. books, Jink's Evil Genius series, Ferraiolo's Sidekicks, Carroll's Quantum Prophecy Young's S.T.O.R.M and Cody's Powerless. The cover is very appealing, and despite the huge number of characters, the author does an excellent job of making them memorable.
Weaknesses: While I could tell the characters apart, I would have been far happier with a smaller group. Five main characters, with their attendant villains, their side kicks AND the heroes, was a lot of characters! Also, at the beginning there was an intimation that the Heroes were really the bad guys, and I was kind of hoping that the five teens would become villains after realizing they somehow were the good guys. That would have been a nice twist. (less)

This book was a good book. It was filled with action, adventure and a little drama. This book isn’t just your expectation of a normal cheesy superhero book. This book had a great way of showing the tension between the superheroes and the villain. It gave the villains a good reason to hate the heroes (If I tell you, I will give away some of the story). Throughout the book you discover shocking secrets about both the heroes and the villains. Apparently, the heroes lie to the whole world about lots...more

"The Vindico" by Wesley King is a fabulous book about five teenagers kidnapped by a group of supervillains called The Vindico. Their reason for the kidnapping? To create a younger set of villains (even supervillains get old and tired).

The villains have planned weeks of training, brainwashing and torture to get these teens to commit to joining The Vindico, but things don't always work out as planned in life. What the villains find out is that teens aren't that easy to manipulate, and these teens...more

As an older reader more than a few years removed from their teenage years, I wasn't sure how a book targeting a younger demographic would appeal to me. It took one chapter for me to get hooked on this book. The storytelling is fast-paced but still allows the reader to understand and relate to the characters.

If The Vindico was a superhero movie, it'd be Spiderman 3. Sure, I'd definitely call this book quirky fun, but at the same time there's an overload of characters, some repetitive scenes, and a rather messy climax that just feels like it's flipping back and forth every few chapters.

Sure, I'd definitely call this book quirky fun, but at the same time there's an overload of characters, some repetitive scenes, and a rather messy climax that just feels like it's flipping back and forth every few chapters. So while I enjoyed its interesting and offbeat take on superheroes versus supervillains and wish it the best of luck, I can't say it's any more than an average read for me.

I guess the first five chapters sum up my first problem with this book pretty well. Each chapter's from the point of view of a different kid and each ends with the kid being kidnapped by one or two of the supervillains. Not only does the plot get kinda repetitive around the third kidnapping, but if I'm doing my math correctly, that's five kids plus six supervillains for a total of eleven characters already - that's a lot of characters to keep track of. At least I get while the chapters are repetitive, they introduce the kids - Emily's by far my favorite because she's oddly funny in a cold way but all the kids except Lana made an impression on me - but I had the hardest time keeping track of the supervillains for awhile. Maybe if this book was a comic book or graphic novel instead, I'd be able to keep track by their outfits, but I was seriously lost here. Even now that I've got them all straight, the Torturer, Avaria, and the Baron still have way better backstories than Sliver, Leni, and especially Rono. Honestly, Sliver's story I don't think went anywhere and Rono doesn't even have one to speak of.

Once I figured out the characters I actually liked the plot, with the kids gaining superpowers, being trained by the villains, and then deciding if they want to go against the heroes. There are a few pretty good questions, what does it mean to be a hero, be a villain - the kids are faced with some tough choices and it's implied the heroes aren't as good as they claim to be, but as the story moved towards the final showdown between the heroes and the villains, it just became way too convoluted for me. There's not just betrayals and switching sides, but double and triple betrayals and all of it, rather than answering those all consuming questions of good versus evil, just felt rushed and somewhat silly. I guess I'm saying I'm satisfied with the ending, but not with the last few chapters before I got there.

Also, I don't usually include quotes in my reviews, but King's writing just stands out in a very odd way. Even though I had a hard time with the villain characters and the plot didn't entirely do it for me, there's just something oddly appealing about certain sections of this book, like emo Peter Parker. I'd read this book just for the writing. Or maybe I'm not a great judge, I dunno.

Like this reaction to being kidnapped.

“I’m going to stun you now,” the man said, hoisting a gun. “Sorry, it’s a formality.”
Emily took a step backward. “That’s a strange formality. I have to say, I would rather you didn’t. And now that I take a second to think about it, you don’t particularly look like good guys. It’s the odd pairing maybe, or the unspoken threat of the elf woman. After all, why would you be stunning me if you weren’t evil?”
“It will all be explained,” the man said. “This won’t hurt.”
“I should probably leave a note. I’m going to my grandpa’s house tomorrow night, and he’ll be worried if I don’t show up.”
“I’ll send him a message,” he told her.
“Please stun her,” the woman said.

Or this scene.

A baby’s cry echoed across the room. Sam looked like he was about to faint.
“Go ahead, Emily,” Rono said, taking a long step out of the way. “Hurry, it’s almost three-quarters of the way across.”
“Emily, you can’t shoot a baby!” Lana protested.
“It’s not a real baby, right?” Emily asked Rono.
Rono shrugged. When Emily continued to stare at him stone-faced, he finally waved a hand. “No, it’s mechanical. Now blow the thing up.”
Emily raised the discharger.
“Emily, maybe you should make sure…” James started.
Sighting her target with one eye, Emily aimed for the slow-moving carriage and fired. The red bolt struck it full-on, and the carriage exploded dramatically, spraying flaming pink lace and pieces of mechanical baby all across the room.
James felt something sharp digging into his arm and saw that Lana had grabbed him. When he met her eyes, she quickly let go.
“Sorry,” Lana said, sounding embarrassed. “I thought she just blew up a baby.”

Or this commentary about villain costuming.

“And how about your outfit?” Lana asked with a raised eyebrow, looking Hayden up and down.
He strutted forward, swinging his hips. “This outfit makes a statement,” he said in the same commentator voice, fingering his jet-black shirt with one hand and swinging his cape with the other. “It says, I hate you, your mother, puppies, rainbows, sunshine, fun, long walks on the beach, people who encourage others,” he listed off on his hand, still strutting.

Anyway, even though The Vindico's not going anywhere near the top of my favorite books list, I encourage anyone who's tired of the same old offerings in young adult fare to check this book out. It's not a bad book by any stretch and actually weirdly fun.(less)

Good book. It's not a difficult book to get through, by any means. The author doesn't get too in-depth with a lot of the storyline, which was a little disappointing. But on a positive, the story does move along well, with very few, if any, dull moments. The author wants to turn this into a six book series, so I'm guessing that in the subsequent novels more depth of character/plot will be deployed - much like the Harry Potter series.

Therefore when I read the synopsis of this book I KNEW that I had to get my hands on a copy of it to A) be relive my childhood and B) IT IS ABOUT SUPERHEROES. While many book characters that I have read over the years could be considered superheroes in their own right I personally have never read a book about legitimate superheroes, nor does a single one that deals with them come to mind (if you know of any feel free to let me know, I'd love to check them out!).

When I first started this book I found it to be a fair bit juvenile (on the verge of being MG), I had expected the characters to be young adults, so between sixteen and eighteen years of age and they weren't. I believe that the youngest, Sam, was thirteen, and that the oldest was no older than fifteen or sixteen. That being said, as I got more and more into the story the characters and their situations really started to grow on me and I found myself having less and less of a problem with its juvenile-ness.

Overall, I did really enjoy the book, while it was most definitely cute and funny, it did have its more serious moments such as bullying, loss, and dysfunctional families- at one point in time I actually found myself tearing up by the plot (specifically the plot surrounding Emily), something that I don't often do while reading books. I believe this to be a testament to author Wesley's ability as an author, that his words have an impact upon the reader.

I think that what personally made the book for me were the characters, specifically Hayden, Rono, and the Torturer. Had Hayden been a few years older I would have found him to be utterly swoon-worthy with his bad boy/ playboy-ish attitude and swagger. He brought so much humor to this book that I literally lit up whenever I read about it. I also really enjoyed Rono and the Torturer because I found them to be more than mere villains, I loved seeing them interact with their students James and Emily- it became obvious that despite everything they really came to care for the kids.

All in all I think that this is a fantabulous read- while more so targeted at those occupying the younger ends of the YA spectrum I do think that older readers will also enjoy it, also this book, without a doubt, would appeal to both male and female readers alike (can't get the young male in your life to read, give him a copy of this and I guarantee that you will make a reader out of him!).
