When I first saw this book cover I immediately thought it was about a blonde who fought against criminals. My second thought after that was maybe it was about a girl who used masks and followed along the lines of 50 Shades of Grey.
This is the actual synopsis from Amazon: An evolution in the female superhero, Super Born: Seduction of Being is a
romantic satire based on a quirky journalist's search for a reluctant
Super Woman. She is a single mother with thirty years of normal
existence before super powers begin to show themselves and complicate
her life. As she searches for her new place in the world, a crowd of
"others" search for her as well. Told from both the journalist's and
superhero's point of view, Super Born is a flowing unique read.
Whew - I love being right, well at least some part right! I can not say enough how much I enjoyed this book. Finally we have a superhero that is like a normal person. The story really starts when a Doctor believes the woman who will be a Superhero lives in Scranton, PA.
Side note, did you know that city workers in Scranton, PA had their pay cut to minimum wage?! Yes that includes firemen and police officers. How can you even live on that? It would take a week of working to fill my car up with gas, and I get more than 26 mpg! The city is obviously being crazy and obviously has no empathy for their workers.
Back to Super Born... The perspectives of a journalist and of Super Born are used to tell us the story, in a diary type of format. It goes from how the journalist first gets involved with the Doctor when he believes that their are superwomen located in Scranton due to the high surge of 'radiation' during the Superbowl of '76. After the radiation exposure, the men go crazy and have a thing called RFD, while some women actually get super powers like Super Born. She was catching criminals and preventing crimes, which in turn makes people jealous. While on one side the journalist and everyone becoming her fans on a website love her, their are others like the not so successful superwomen and crime lords that despise her.
