I liked how timely this book is, bringing to light issues of immigration, corporate greed, and power. But I couldn't really connect with the characters (my favs were Bryan and Lana, I found Clark meh).

Part of that might be because Superman is so iconic. I already have a relationship with him, and so I wanted to experience the emotions attributed to that here in the book. Some of them are there - his desire to do good, the farm boy nature of his - but other things weren't. I've always loved his relationship with his parents, and wish that could have been amped up a little. Martha doesn't even get named until the last third of the book.

Overall, a good read, but I just expected, idk, more, I guess.
