Booklist Review

Of Superpowers, natch. Just a snippet:

"Schwartz strikes the right balance between vicarious superhero adventure and thoughtful reflection on the hidden costs of being a Good Samaritan."

Sweet. Hear that, librarians? BUY MULTIPLE COPIES.

Have emailed the librarian who buys for "New and Noteworthy"!

Yay! I'm a smidge behind schedule but I get to start reading that book today.

Nice. (I have also sent a suggestion to the Hennepin County library)

Sweeeeet! You are well balanced! Just like a nutritious breakfast!

Go, you, go! We might have to test that balance, though.

I wish I knew some Engish-reading librarians to tell them that.

Lacking those, I just can't wait to be able to read the book myself. So very happy for you.

Nice snippet! Wait, so you're not going to tell us whether or not it's better to be a decadent superhero or a Good Samaritan?

Damnit, Dave, WHY MUST YOU WITHHOLD THE SIMPLISTIC MORALS I DESIRE SO MUCH
