What I really like most is the narrative tone. It's sarcastic. The introspection is a little much, though.Overall, I think the plot is weak. You do find out how Avery and his friends got their superpowers in the first place, but if I would tell you, it would be a spoiler. Avery is pretty well-developed, but the other characters are kind of boring. Actually, Avery makes a lot of stupid choices and doesn't realize a lot of obvious things when they are happening. And one of the girls isn't supposedI know, I know. I can hear you saying, dude! What is up with all these high star YA reviews lately? Have you just given up on adult life and decided everything you read is awesome because your brain is broken now? First of all, my brain is NOT broken and I have not given up on being a grown up (mostly). Second of all, have you read these YA books Ive been rating? They are AWESOME. I dont know. This is the year of great books or something. Maybe just my year of great books? Whatever.Reasons why
A remix of the X-Men, Dull Boy tells the story of a teenage boy trying to hide his superpowers before discovering hes not alone. The book starts strong but rapidly flags. Given the cliffhanger and the lack of a plan for a sequel, this ones a pass (even without getting into its other problems). Not recommended.
Very funny story. Avery is a normal boy who one day realizes he has super powers. I loved seeing how his character evolves as he tries to deal with having super powers, finding friends, and hiding his secret from his parents. I won this book at a contest at Aprilynne Pike's blog, and I'm so happy I discovered this new author. The ending is wide open for a sequel, and I'll read Avery's future adventures when they come out.
Buzzwords: Superheroes, male pov, friends, science fiction, secrets, misfits, good vs. evil but also shades of gray, coming of ageAvery has superpowers. He's not sure how he got them, but he wants to use them for good - and keep them secret, so he doesn't end up dissected in a lab somewhere. But when he finds others like himself, things may be about to change...I picked this book up because I read and loved Sarah Cross' Kill Me Softly, and was not disappointed. I loved Avery's voice, and I
I really liked it. It was super funny. Nicholas absorbing Cherchette didn't really surprise me, but I didn't think about it really. But that his vortex transports instead of destroys, that was a surprise. But this just makes me think there would be a sequel. Why else would she leave it on that kind of cliffhanger? I'd read a sequel.
Dull Boy was awesome, hilarious and pretty geektastic! I really liked the main character Avery, I usually prefer books in a female voice just because it's easier for me to relate to, but Avery was just a cool guy with a good heart. I really liked him, and he was pretty funny! I really liked the abbreviated swear words he used or thought, stuff like "What the F". That kind of stuff is just perfect to me!And of course Avery isn't the only character. I loved all his new friends from Darla the super
