The content of this novel—a gay teen fledgling superhero—was what drew me to it. It does struggle in the styling and the pacing, but overall it was fun, gritty at times, emotional and introspective.

I really enjoyed Hero. It's a bit cliched in parts and clearly rips off very famous superheroes, but it does so in a fun, campy way. It has a lot of closeted, gay teen angst but that's the purpose of the story so it's not overbearing. One thing I really enjoyed was how real and gritty it was, especially at the ending.

I wish a few things were more drawn out and explained like the evolution of his powers, but it didn't kill the book.

I loved a lot of the characters, especially Ruth. She was fantastic. The character development and interaction was probably the best part of this book. Also the family relationship for Thom was especially well done, I thought. I'd recommend this book to just about anyone. It was fun.
