For my first book of 2024 written by a man (yes, I know I’m 11 books in) this one SLAPPED. It’s incredibly well written. This book reads like a Matthew Vaughn movie done well. If you liked the first Kingsman movie, you’ll love this book. If you liked Get Smart (with Anne Hathaway and Steve Carrell) you’ll like this book. If you, like me have eccentric taste and enjoyed Cars 2 (I know there’s someone else out there who loved it like I do), you’ll like this book. It’s quick, the dialogue is witty, and there are twists and turns that made me openly giggle often. Normal guy gets thrown into a world of villains and talking cats. It’s pretty perfect. ( ) A cheerful easy read about Charlie, who when his uncle dies finds himself taking over a secret volcanic island and having to defeat a consortium of villains. It is all good fun, with super intelligent cats and sweary dolphins, and a good dollop of 'unions good, white dudes with inherited privilege and no women in their club bad'. But it wasn't very interesting, or very subtle. Charlie is clueless and mostly just manipulated by others throughout the book, and Don't come for painstaking careful world building or deep character development. But if you want to suspend your disbelief and enjoy a warmhearted action romp, it delivers. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits. Jake had enemies, and now they're coming after Charlie. His uncle might have been a stand-up, old-fashioned kind of villain, but these are the real thing: rich, soulless predators backed by multinational corporations and venture capital. It's up to Charlie to win the war his uncle started against a league of supervillains. But with unionized dolphins, hyper-intelligent talking spy cats, and a terrifying henchperson at his side, going bad is starting to look pretty good. In a dog-eat-dog world...be a cat.
