When a spaceship landed in an open field in the quiet mill town of Sorrow Falls, Massachusetts, everyone realized humankind was not alone in the universe. With that realization everyone freaked out for a little while. Or almost everyone. The residents of Sorrow Falls took the news pretty well. This could have been due to a certain local quality of unflappability, or it could have been that in three years the ship did exactly nothing other than sit quietly in that field, and nobody understood the full extent of this nothing the ship was doing better than the people who lived right next door.

Leary explains.

There is no story here, just an UNentertaining list being read off. Technically, one isn't supposed to review something if one has not completely listened to it. However I couldn't stand anymore than half way through chapter two. It DEFINITELY wasn't for me.

Would not recommend it
This book was tough to get through. At almost 4 hours I just mostly wish I could have my time back. I almost quit early but wanted to be able to give a honest feedback on the whole book. So I went ahead and listened to the whole thing. The first half of the book was just so tedious and hard to get through. I kept thinking where is the actual handbook? Where is the actual guide? The end admittedly got better at answering these questions.

A funny satire on supervillains!
This was a lot better than I expected it to be. It really does read a bit like a handbook, and each chapter is teaching a young villain things not to mess up, such as names or how to build your base. It doesn't take itself seriously and make a lot of jokes about the stereotypes of the evil villain. really well done.
The performance was great as well. The narrator used a deep villainy voice and kind of talked down to the audience, which worked really well.
Worth your time, and anyone that is into super power book will get a kick out if it. Recommended.

It is written like a guide book
It is written like a guide book. Yes it is supposed to be funny but I don’t think it is pulled off very well. I could not get through it all. If you are looking for an entertaining story this is not the book for you. If you want some bad puns, and cheep jokes with no continuity to kill time on your drive home then this is what you need.
