I'm not normally one to write reviews but I was so impressed with the Council of Evil and also Rise of the Heroes... I heard a lot of buzz about these books and decided to give them a go, and it definitely lives up to it...

The Hero.com and Villain.net series of books intertwine making you decide which side you want to be on, you can relive your childhood fantasy of being either a hero or a villain... I bought both books together and went for the Hero one first, but both are equally as fun to read. After loving Rise of the Heroes I went straight into Council of Evil, characters appear from the Hero.com series and the story does intertwine. This makes you feel more involved and you really do start to pick a side!

I would highly recommend both books, for all ages and really looking forward to the next two in the series that are due out in October...

Something else I found great fun after reading the books, was that I found a cool feature on the website that accompanies the series: whichsideareyouon.co.uk where you can create your own hero or villain and then challenge your friends/enemies over email... Good fun on a Friday afternoon in the office...

By TeensReadToo TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Jake Hunter is your average bully - until one computer class leads him to a mysterious website.

The website allows him to download superpowers. When a teacher mistakingly witnesses him bullying a much younger student, Jake must serve detention. When Jake attempts to unsuccessfully explain the truth, rage pulses through him.

Green energy radiates from his body, rendering the teacher unconscious in addition to causing the destruction of the classroom. In a wavering decision, after escaping, Jake rushes back in to save the teacher.

He's hailed as a hero, but one person knows the truth and sends him an email message with a meeting time and location. Jake arrives there to hear an offer he can't refuse. He's about to become the world's most sought after villain.

Jake Hunter's journey into the super-villains is only the beginning. An alternate side has also been discovered in RISE OF THE HEROES. Readers will recognize a few crossover characters that will deepen the plot of both novels. The evil storyline moves along quickly, and it's a fun read for middle schoolers interested in comic books or who love rooting for the bad guys.

Villain.net has many characters - Jake, Basilisk, Chameleon and there are many enforcers. The main character is a boy called Jake Hunter who downloads powers off an imaginary site on the internet called villain.net which allows people to download special powers and use them for evil.

We read this book as a book club comprised of 9-10 year old boys and they really enjoyed the pace of the story. Difficult to put down, each chapter better than the last! Action packed and some humour too. They all said that they would recommend this book to other pre-teenage boys!
