I loved book 1 of this and eagerly dived into it when I got it. Now I didn’t absolutely love this one as much as the first because I felt like the first half of the book was a little slow, but it’s still worthy of 5 stars for it’s entertainment value!! In this one, Jackson Blackwell is preparing for fatherhood, but he ends up getting banished from his home and his world, and the only world that will take him is one filled with comic book heroes and villains. Jackson has been tasked with doing something “unique”, and of course he rises to the challenge.
Jackson Blackwell is such a fun character to read!! I don’t particularly like him but he is so much fun! He is well developed and written and it shows how good the author is at writing characters because he is basically an a..hole, yet you can’t help but root for him.
The plot of this one was intriguing (when it finally got there) The dimension the story takes place in was awesome!! It’s filled with superheroes and of course, Jackson has a plan for them. While it did drag for the first half of the book, when it finally got going, it really took off!! There were so many twists and turns that it made up for the lackluster start.
In all, this was a fun, laugh out loud and entertaining read. I love how the author pokes fun at so many things, from book sequels, to reviewers, and even the narrator!! It made me laugh a lot, which made the book a winner in my opinion.
Jeffrey Kafer is one of the best in the business, and to hear him poke fun of himself was awesome!! His performance here was flawless and he brought Jackson to life. I highly recommend his work!!
I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.
