4.0 out of 5 stars Very funny 10 April 2012
By RennyRoo
Format:Kindle Edition
What has window cleaning business to do with a Moon base and ruling the world? Well, to put it simply, everyone needs to start somewhere. And as everyone knows, the first steps are the hardest to make, so why not to take a self help book to your aid.

Said that, I would urge you to forget all self help books that you have read, owned or you aspire to read or own! This is the only one you will need! I admit, it is a self help book with a twist, but it still manages to highlight the importance of all the main business decisions. It answers the burning issues, such as, which industry to focus on, how to hire your new staff, guides you through the financial decisions you will need to face when your business starts to blossom (and believe me, it will!), opening new branches, decimating your competitors, all the way through to fulfilling your dreams.

Short, funny and easy read especially for people (and managers) who don't take themselves too seriously and enjoy now and again to put their feet on the table and have proper belly laugh.

Good luck to all current and aspiring villains. May the book help you spread your wings and reach your dreams! :D

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious 22 Mar 2012
By V. Cano

This was definitely an entertaining read. It is a guide-book on how to become the best super-villain you can be. Just the premise is hilarious.
The chapters are set up as any guidebook's, but they cover such topics as how to fix your persona to give off that wonderful evil feel, and how to go about achieving planetary control. It gets funnier and funnier as you read on. It is very much tongue-in-cheek, but the writing is handled nicely, with a good sense of pacing, which keeps the reader amused.
One of my favorite sections in the book was the interviews with two convicts, but the whole thing is delightful and a quick read. I can easily recommend this to anyone needing a good laugh.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book Review 8 Mar 2012
By Yiota G.
Format:Kindle Edition
Hehehehe!! This one was cool!! A simple guide to be a supervillain. Simple, understandable and funny.

Starting by simple steps of gaining money, to how to win the hero opponents that might appear. Everything you need to know is here. Not too much information to get tired but enough to make it work (well not really but you get the point). Also the fact that the author puts some humor in, instead of writing something incredible serious (like most guides are) makes it special with my favorite parts was how to build your Window Cleaning Organization to make the first money and how to win the Superheros that might appear.

Of course there were some parts, somewhere in the middle where it had to be explained how to get political power which weren't that interesting for me and tired me a little but it was okay in general. Only thing which felt a little out of place was some interviews that existed at the end.

In total it was a fast and fun read. The first part, even seems possible to be done, after that the things are a bit difficult. And i totally think Hollywood, must look at this guide and get some ideas for its supervillains or even a movie. It makes more sense instead of what they giving us so far.
