A fantastic story!, September 8, 2015

We have all grown up with superheroes such as Superman and Batman and they’ll always have a special place in our hearts but it’s definitely time to introduce another superhero: His name is Nathan and he’s the perfect man for the job! He has the right personality to take on the many challenges of a superhero and his attitude and personality will appeal to people of all ages. I really enjoyed this book and it was difficult to put down. The whole story is very cleverly constructed and I liked the way Nathan has an array of different super powers which makes his character all the more fascinating. I honestly think this author has done a wonderful job of portraying the depth and scope of the protagonist as well as the supporting characters and it was nice to see the author introduce characters such as Lisa in a subtle way to allow for more scope later in the series. I also wanted to comment on this author’s writing style. This book is obviously written by an intelligent person who knows how to cleverly describe a variety of emotions on every page within a very well-constructed plot. At the same time, the book is written in a language even young adolescents would enjoy. I also really liked how the author complemented his writing style with the clever introduction of the Greek gods at different stages in the story. The appearance of these gods and their conversations really were a joy to read. On a final note, I believe this book should definitely be made into a movie because it would be very popular and it has all the key elements of a great superhero story.

If an author ever wants to stand out in a major way, they should take a few notes from the style of Jason Zandri, who has clearly mastered the art of creative storytelling in a genre that is still evolving and growing in modern literature. The superhero and supernatural themes have been beaten mercilessly by Hollywood and television as of late, and while certain series have dealt with vampires, werewolves, and wizards to great acclaim, good old-fashioned hero literature hasn't had as large of a presence.

In Zandri's series, which has limitless potential, in my opinion, as Nathan has proven throughout the course of this book to be a deeply complex and fascinating person. The author truly digs into what it means to be given something that no one else possesses, and explores the weight of responsibility, both for those with powers and those without. This book may require a significant suspension of disbelief, but there are real issues here, social commentaries and personal discoveries. This is more than just an action-packed superhero book with a final boss battle at the end.... this is a thoughtful and beautifully constructed world that we have only just begun to explore. I Hero is a Hit!
