Ugh. Please let this be a film. I want to watch it immediately. Bonus points if they get Stewart or McKellen in there somewhere.

Seriously though, if you have an ounce of love for all things superhero, this is a must. Great characters, loved the science and the powers, and especially loved the crime/thriller plot. And Mitch. Gotta love Mitch.

Ohhh this book. It took me ages to finish this book. Almost a whole month. I didn't hate the book just Eli Ever. God I couldn't read it. I was so pissed off at him the whole time.

This story is about two friends from college. Both decide, well one convinces the other that wouldn't it be great to experiment the effectiveness of the near death experience and becoming ExtraOrdinary. I mean death causes super human powers!

This book took me by surprise! I thought it was going to be your generic hero/anti hero story but the last 20% of the book, the author cranked it up and it was really delightful. If this were made a movie, it would totally trump 'Chronicle', just sayin'.

Gosh, the trio of Victor, Sydney and Mitch is just my favorite. Would love a sequel just to see where the world takes them but am content right now with just leaving it up to the reader. Imagining all the scenarios! :)

OMG THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!! You know a story is going to be good when it starts out with the characters digging up a body to send someone a message. This book is filled with so many epic quotes and twisted characters whose lives intermingle with one another. (side note: Victor is now apart of my book reverse harem that I have created. Welcome to the club, Victor)The ending was so satisfying and I have nothing bad to say about this novel. Beautiful piece of literature Ms. Schwab!
