In a prosperous yet gruesomely violent near future, superhero vigilantes battle thugs whose heads are full of supervillain fantasies. The peace is kept by a team of smooth, well-dressed negotiators called The Men in Fancy Suits. Meanwhile a young girl is caught in the middle and thinks the whole thing is ridiculous. Zoey, a recent college graduate with a worthless degree, makes a reluctant trip into the city after hearing that her estranged con artist father had died in a mysterious yet spectacular way. There she finds that her scumbag dad had actually, in the final years of his life, put his amazing talent for hustling to good use: He was one of the founding members of the Fancy Suits and died in the course of his duties. Zoey is quickly entangled in the city's surreal mob war when she is taken hostage by a particularly crazy villain who imagines himself to be a Dr. Doom-level mastermind. The villain is demanding information about Zoe's father when she is rescued by The Fancy Suits. She reluctantly joins their cause and helps finish what her old man started, tapping in to her innate talent for bullshit that she inherited from her hated father. And along the way, she might just have to learn how to trust people again.

This is an amazing book. How David Wong came up with the crazy stuff that happens in this story I will never know. It was hilarious and random, like the kind of stuff that flits into your mind for a second and then you dismiss as crazy was knitted together into a story. If I could have listened for 15hrs straight I would have. Also, it must be said, Christy Romano was an amazing narrator. There were quite a lot of characters and she brought them to life so amazingly well - different accents, pitches, paces. The next book in the series isn’t narrated by her, which is disappointing. I haven’t read it yet but I can’t imagine Zoe not having Christy’s voice, or any of the other characters to be fair. Overall, a fantastic read/listen.

Hilarious, random and gripping

not the narrator fault, but after a while, her man voice got to me and needed to take many breaks... awesome story though.

Insane, cruel, funny and smart!
I loved it.
It is nuts. The world is cruel and full of insane people.
One trailer park raised young woman gets sucked into it and she rises up to it.
A diamond in the rough that keeps on taking punches and not stopping.
There are soo many good things to say that there is no point.
This is Fight Club, Batman and Kickass.

BRILIANT!

Bravo! I could never have imagined how entertaining the story would be. Hat off to the incredible narrator. I hope there will be a follow up book

Awesome narration for a very entertaining story

I love David Wongs work in general but this one I really really loved. The main character is a young woman that actually feels real, and that is commendable not because she’s super strong or super smart or super sexy, but because she’s lived through some stuff and keeps wanting to move forward, battling stuff no matter what. Even when she’s helpless and scared and convinced she’s going to die, she keeps moving forward anyway, and it’s awesome.
I also love the class commentary inthe book, it really doesn’t shy away from the power dynamics between the rich and poor, and paints a picture of working class America that hits really close to home - even if the science fiction dresses it up in holograms.
Overall this book was funny and surprising and awesome, and I can’t wait to read the next installment in the series.

Badass and funny and great
