'A work of adorable genius. Buy it, borrow it, steal it but just make sure you read it. I am willing to bet it will be your surprise read of the year. I read it on the train home the day I received it and spent the whole evening smiling. '(****) --Scott Pack meandmybigmouth.com
'This is an adorable book: neat, sweet, petite. Your loved one will love you even more for buying it for them. Toby Litt 'Somebody should write Mr Kaufman and thank him for his tender heart ... I expect this story will replace boxes of chocolates and flowers in courting rituals to come.' Sheila Heti 'An addictive, brisk, wonderfully inventive and funny piece of work.' Dogmatika '... may technically be called a love story, but if it is, it is one that is blissfully cliche free. More please.' Pulp.net 'Simply brilliant. A real gem of a book ... this ode to love was built to last.' Ham & High 'A deliciously barbed commentary on our ongoing epidemic of physical and emotional multi-tasking and all its neurotic spinoffs.' The Globe and Mail --Reviews

This book is quirky and made me smile on a number of occasions. It's a short book that is original and different and is entertaining throughout. Whilst reading I started to think about people I know and for fun starting making up what their superhero names could be from their personality. Lovely read that will bring a smile on most faces, great book cover picture - that always makes me smile too.

I can say how sweet and charming and witty and lovable this story is, but i'd just be repeating what everyone else has said.
So i'll try to say what the book is like, because I had no idea what I was buying except that it was "the cutest, sweetest, romantic little book ever".
It's not what you'd call a normal novel. Or even a novel really, at 108 pages. But it's a 108 pages of gold. Others have pointed out its failings but I think everything that's in it, everything about the way it's written, is exactly the way it should be. It's a quirky story with a odd way of telling it. It's sweet and crazy and the writing is adorable and all over the place. You just jump on and enjoy the ride.
It's not like other longer novels where there's beginning, middle and ending, or character development or major plot devices. And yet you come to know the story (even though it's told so disjointedly) inside out, the characters build up in your mind until you want to meet them, and the twist at the end has you cheering.
The story is about Tom, who's regular, and all his friends are Superheroes. But they're not like the superheroes we know. I don't want to give too much away and spoil the magic of reading about these characters for yourself, but to name a few to give an idea: the Perfectionist, Hypno, the Clock, the Broken Heart, and many more. Truly original idea.
I'd recommend it to anyone, but remember, go into it with a light heart and open mind. If you're looking for a wordy, complicated, full length novel to read for hours then you're in the wrong place. But for a bit of lovable fun that can be read in under an hour try this. You won't regret it.
If you like The Perks of Being a Wallflower, you'll like this.

Bought this book on a whim, thought it sounded quite interesting and with the mixed reviews I was a little unsure but tried it anyway. SO GLAD I did. Was trying to write an essay at the time and kept making excuses to take a break and read another chapter; I ended up stopping completely and reading the whole book. It really is a sweet book with an interesting plot to it, which is what I ultimately wanted as I've been getting really bored with the typical romance and chick lit novel. Really would recommend it.

Really, the title of my review says it all. A truly magical story. Ok, it might be a short novel and retail for the price of a 500 pager (other reviews are critical of this), but... Read more

Short, sweet and forgettable
I like books that can be finished in 4-5 sittings. This one was just 1 sitting on the tube ride home, so scored highly in that respect. I liked its quirky sense of humour. Read more

All My Friends Are Superheroes
This book is a must-have, it only takes a couple of hours to read but it's funny, cute, loveable, but mostly very very clever, expect the unexpected.

disappointing
A waste of time. Perhaps the hype of the book set it up for failure. I kept reading with the hope that I would finally understand what all the fuss was about. I never did.

Thin hardly does it justice
There are some good things to this ... well, book, I suppose, because although it costs the same as other "books", it takes about an hour to read from end to end, and certainly... Read more

Sweet idea but.....
Just a little too adorable for my tastes. Disappointed. I was really looking forward to a good quirky read and it just didn't quite make the grade.

A lovely lovestory
You can read this tiny and very short book waiting for a train, in a rainy day, lying in a desert beach, you can read it loud to yourself to your dog, to your girlfriend. Read more
