    About this audiobook

    Being a superhero should be fun. After all, a world of super powers is a world where amazonian juggernauts made of candy battle guys in spandex that drive talking cars. Irene loves that weirdness, loves the game of fighting, and loves being a four-foot-tall woman who still gets to drop big heavy objects on villains' heads.

    In 1980, that fun is in danger. A mad scientist who murders people for his research has everyone afraid. Two of the friendliest super powered rivals around stop playing and go for the kill. If superheroes and villains aren't safe in their own homes, how can having powers be anything but a nightmare?

    Irene will not let that happen. She wants to show her friends-a ten-year-old grim reaper, and a zombie mish-mosh of living and metal parts-that their lives don't have to be grim. With the help of a superintelligent spider, Team Tiny will make the world fun again.

    Except maybe it's the spider who's in charge after all . . .

      I have mixed feelings about this one, especially the audiobook (I'll explain later). Richard Roberts is his usual skilled self when it comes to world-building and character creation, but the plot is not as tightly wrapped as the other books in the series. The end drags on a bit, and several parts feel like the author started to write something, then forgot some key components (e.g. there's at least one rather jarring scene-change, and it's to a location that was never really explained). Also, it kinda feels like the author started to give us Lucyfar's origin story, then changed his mind. Perhaps it is just wishful thinking inspired by all the other callbacks and fan service, or perhaps he decided she was better left a mystery; we'll never know. Overall, it is still a fun story, just not as good as the others. Then there's the audiobook - several of the later chapters cut off mid-word; also, the reader is as great as always, but hearing Goodnight out loud makes me realize she's the kind of friend who's absolutely wonderful...in moderation; spending an entire book with her POV can be a bit...taxing, especially when she starts alliterating annoyingly. On the plus side, this narrator is perfect for the role - her voice is bright and smooth and she easily conveys Goodnight's relentless positive energy. Like I said, I have mixed feelings about this one, and I can't say whether you'd enjoy it or not.

      I Did NOT Give That Spider Superhuman Intelligence! (Please Don't Tell My Parents, #0.5) by Richard Roberts is a wonderful romp is a fun world of Team Tiny and Spider. I have not read any of the other books so I am now going to change that after reading this book. I love all the fun characters in here. These characters are so unique and fun, dangerous but fun. Where were these books when I was a kid? These maybe made for kids but adults will enjoy them too, I know I do. What a fun plot, exciting characters and dialogue and wonderful ride of a story! It is hard to pick a favorite character, they are all so strange and great in their own crazy way. This is set in 1980, before the other books. Thanks Curiosity Quills for letting me have a chance to read this book.
