I have just finished reading one of the best books I have ever read...
All My Friends are Superheroes: by Andrew Kaufman
I have been meaning to read this for a while so when for my birthday I got a Waterstones book-token I thought I'd take advantage of this and bought this small but wonderful book.and oh my goodness...
Ok, so imagine a world that it is full of superheroes... and non-superheroes... Tom is the latter but all his friends and even his fiancée - the Perfectionist- are superheroes. However, the twist is when the Perfectionist's ex-boyfriend Hypno hypnotises her into believing Tom is invisible and he has just a plane ride to convince her he's there...
The best thing about this book though is the creativity of the Superheroes he creates like the Spooner who goes to lonely people at night and just spoons them until they feel better. my favourite is one of Tom's old girlfriends who ahas the biggest plans but is the best procrastinator. Just read what happens. It is brilliant.
So because this is one of those books that leaves you with the best feeling ever it got me thinking of Superheroes and that we all have superpowers. For example I've decided my super is my imagination. Which although means I can dream nothing will never really happen. But my train rides will be a hell of a lot more interesting.
Remember what Albert Einstein said... ( I'll keep reminding myself this coming up to results day)
Any way let me know what your superpower is whether it is changing a nappy without puking or an expert on Netflix binges.
Love,
