Brian’s Reviews > Who Can Save Us Now?: Brand-New Superheroes and Their Amazing (Short) Stories > Status Update

done with the snipper. story isn't interesting, but ending feels forced because the story is so short. making the story longer would prolong the reader's ennui. character ages are established too late (teenagers riding bikes? in these days? selling grit magazine?) so gigi's "relationship" with bob the store owner feels inappropriate/pedophile. a story better thrown away than fixed.

by far, in cretaceous seas is the worst so fat in this collection. how does this qualify as a hero story? some bizarre metaphor and a guy sweating in his bed. what the heck is the kindest i can say about this. it belongs on a refrigerator somewhere, adjacent a crayon drawing with a lemon yellow sun.

bleh. are we there yet? war very torches town. it's like Stephen king's carrie, except derivative and coy and dull.

terrible. five "stories" in and still nothing with a story. it's like a bunch of MFAs saw a story niche develop and wrote this "art" junk hoping to sell it. well, they did, and I'm the dummy who bought the book. as consolation, i paid four dollars and I paid too much. stinky.

I don't believe these writers are actual fans.

stinky. I wrote a review then hit the stupid stars in the android app and lost the review. book not worth the four dollars i paid.
