The Bedazzlers Paperback – September 11, 2017

This book is engaging and an interesting book to read. The overall structure of the book is organized and it's an easy read as well. Overall this is a good book to read and it's very helpful and entertaining as well.

I don't always care for independent Press books they can drag on and feel unpolished at times. With The Beddazzlers this was not the case. This was a fun ride from start to finish. It is high praise when a book can get me to actually laugh out loud this book did it a few times. The last book that did that was Good Omens.If you like super heros and comedy you can't go wrong with picking up this book.

Another offering from Martina Fetzer, 'The Bedazzlers' feels like a side story in her Brooks and Smith series; if you're a big fan, certainly read it; if you are a casual fan, I dont think skipping this entry will hurt much.

The Bedazzlers by Martina Fetzer is what happens when a superhero team starts up, but with a more cynical outlook than DC or Marvel would ever give the story.Goodwin Zane (also known as Monochrome) is gray (yes, in color), a billionaire, and shoots magma. He also has an ego the size of the world. Because of his ego (and horrible personality) the press hates him. He’s a superhero (in his mind), but not according to the press. They blame him for everything that goes wrong, including giving many in the world powers when a portal opens above his building (not his fault). So, he starts a superhero group named after his favorite movie.He offers bonuses to powered employees, and either bribes or extorts the others to join. He ends up with what looks to be a group with the worst powers ever. There’s a guy with spikes (either Porcupine guy or Cactus Jack depending on who you're talking to), a girl who has to hold someone’s hand or die, a cyborg (who’s husband’s soul lives in him as well), a writer who he designs a set of super armor for, the sorcerer supreme of this dimension (and his only friend), and Blanche, a woman who loves to knit sweaters for cats and is so white she blinds everyone who looks at her.Oh, and those super teammates of his… they hate him.Overall, this book is well written, and I enjoyed it. The wording and editing were professional and done well. I could picture everything in my mind, and I didn’t skip forward or have to reread anything.I’ll be honest, when I saw the cover, I thought this was for kids. Be aware, it’s not. These are adults and many themes are approached. There’s a good diversity, which I enjoyed, and everyone has an issue. Especially Monochome who is trying to grow. It’s slow, but he’s trying (in his mind).I recommend this creative book to anyone who likes comics, superheros, and jerks trying to be better. It’ll meet and exceed your expectations.
