I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It’s the kind of book that you want to curl up with and read until you finish it. It’s a hilarious but not dumb; action-packed but not violent. It takes you into a quirky and colorful world of villains and heroes. This book would make a great movie starring Ryan Reynolds, who would be perfect for the role of Charlie. I hope it happens soon.
Synopsis
In this book we follow a guy named Charlie, a former journalist, who is currently working as a substitute teacher. Charlie’s life changes when his estranged uncle dies, and he is invited to take over his supervillain empire. When his uncle’s enemy, threatened by the existence of an heir, burn down his house he is left feeling dejected and tormented by the turn of events. Soon he discovers that his cat is not just a cat but a genetically enhanced super intelligent spy who was tasked by Charlie’s uncle to protect him. The cat conveniently also happens to own a house where Charlie takes refuge. He then discovers a big conspiracy, mean dolphins who are on strike due to unfair labor practices at his uncle’s lair, and a rival villain who wants to manipulate Charlie and Rob him off his inheritance. Charlie must decide whether to follow his uncle’s footsteps and become a villain, or to use his skills and resources to stop the evil plot and save the day.
This book is a hilarious and action-packed adventure that will keep you hooked from the first page to the last. The author does a great job of creating a fun and colorful world where villains are not always bad and heroes are not always good. The characters are well-developed and relatable, especially Charlie, who struggles with his identity and morality. The plot is full of twists and turns, and the humor is witty and clever. If you are looking for a fun and original read, you will love starter villain.
You won’t regret reading this book, especially if you love talking dolphins who are on strike, and cats who are more than meets the eye. This book is full of humor, action, and surprises that will keep you entertained.
