Member-only story
Vigilante By Shelley Harris
At the start of 2018, my friend started a book club. Our first book choice was “Neverwhere” by Neil Gaiman, which I loved and have already reviewed. You can find that here:
The second book selection was the subject of this review. I only wish that my reaction to this book was the same as that of the first one.
A HATE HATE RELATIONSHIP
I truly hated this book. The story was weak. The characters were weak. The entire premise was more than a little ridiculous.

I am not going to do more here than say that I don’t like tidying and chores when I am the one doing them. I like them even less when I’m reading about someone else doing them. I can think of nothing more boring.
We then are introduced to her husband’s superhero comic book that he’s drawing…
