Glorious. What a fabulous guidebook. ( )

Ok, apparently I don’t have the “resources” ($$$) necessary to be a super hero…. So I was thinking maybe if somebody needs a side kick… well I’m available… I require little food (my basic diet is chocolate and tofu), and I'm a great cleaner… I know lot of useless stuff (my Lil sis likes to call me the encyclopedia of the useless), I almost don’t sleep, I know how to fix a lot of stuff (when they don’t call me The Takonator at my job they call me Mcgiver), I have contingency plans for almost any natural (and unnatural) catastrophes that you can imagine (ask for my “holy shit there is a zombie outbreak” contingency plan), I’ve seen almost every action movie ever made so I like to think that I can defend myself, I’m really good with maps, puzzles, and all the useless crap that a side kick needs to know!!! So if you a super hero… your long search for the perfect side kick is over! I’m here just send me a message and we can discuss when I start! ( )

This book is great! I was impressed by the amount of "real life" knowledge Beatty had to have researched to make this book believable; it seems pretty accurate in its descriptions of the ridiculous amount of work required from the would-be vigilante. I wouldn't give this to anyone too impressionable/under the age of 12, as this is definitely "don't try this at home" type advice, but for anyone over 14 with a decent sense of humor would love this book.
