Dan's posts #5 "steelheart"

In a world where superheroes do exist, from random and insignificantly powerful, to superheroes

AKA "epics" whose powers rival superman. The thrilling twist is those that manifested powers have become evil. In a city once called chicago there is an "epic" who rules with an awesome power and extreme mercilessness. Our main character barely escaped the massacre which killed his dad, now he seeks revenge. In order to kill "steelheart" he must  find those who also oppose the rule of the epics. 

I really really enjoyed this book, the "super heroes use their powers to be villians" twist makes the book extremely fast paced and exciting. The main character is displayed in the very genuine way that and interesting way rather than cheesy. Above all I like the plot, just when you think you've figured it out, you haven't. If this book sounds to gung-ho actiony for you there is also a large inclusion of mystery and adventure. I DEFINITELY recommend this book.
