The Return of the Incredible Exploding Man, Volume 1 by Dave Hutchinson
4.0
It’s really weird, because this book has nothing that I usually like in it- yet I still really loved it?
It was a super slow burner of a book, I mean not much really happened in the first half but I couldn’t put it down for some strange reason. I was just really intrigued about the whole thing, the main character: alex, was super relatable and likeable in the way he just kept everything real. there was just such a super creepy vibe about the entire thing, i had no idea what was going on but I literally went to sleep thinking about this book and what was happening.
A HUGE CRITICISM THOUGH: you didn’t hear anything about the superpowers in this book until we’ll past page 200, so the main part of the plot just wasn’t even mentioned really, and even then it was just ind of all over the place??? luckily enough for me, the characters and the sub-plot were interesting enough to keep me going, but for other people I can imagine it would just bore them really.
