trulybooked's review against another edition
1.0
I think that this would have been better if it was separate book. I can understand wanting to connect superheroes to spiritual laws, but to raise them to a supreme ideal strips away their flaws and quirks. I think the problem is that I see super heroes differently than he does. I see them as deeply flawed individuals who are struggling against their nature, where that's what's beautiful and wonderful about them. To someone like me, reading about the spiritual laws of superheroes, it felt like Mr. Chopra was not talking about the same people I knew. Batman, for example, does not strike me as a good example for spiritual laws.
While I don't doubt that you could apply the spiritual laws to superheroes, doing it this way felt superficial to me. In the same way that applying quantum physics to the Secret feels superficial.
But this book got a sign off by Stan Lee, so what do I know? :p

I appreciate what this book is trying to do but some of the connections where too broad and if I wanted to read about someone discussing superheroes, I'm sure theres a more interesting way for me to do that.
I just don't have any motivation to read the 'spiritual' parts of the book and some of the connections made me think and was interesting but but not enough that I WANT to pick it back up. Cbf reading this when there's more interesting stuff I want to be reading.
