The sample was interesting, but I’m not convinced it's a book for me. I never got into the superhero thing, I like some of the shows now, but that's about it. I'm Happy you liked the book. Thanks for the review!

I wasn’t too sure about this one at first, but it sounds pretty good. It definitely sounds unique!

I am not sure if we expect a lot of different “Cultures” in this book since the title is Culture Man. This seems interesting, a story of a boy who got superpower because he was bitten by a spider. Congrats on this review.

Will Rob use his newly discovered superpower in good intentions or in a positive way? Having superpowers is an intriguing read and interesting to know the purpose of having that superpower. Congratulations on this review.

: :D this book is amazing! I honestly could not out it down.
I was very interested in this book firstly because a friend recommended it, but secondly because it is so well written.
Its kind of a mystery novel which I love, and was not expecting.

MUST READ

I'm actually more intrigued by the cultural elements than the superhero aspect. It sounds interesting that he was able to weave a deeper mystery element and superpowers into a full-length novel. Thank you for the thorough review.

I found the premise of this book to be very interesting. Your review tells me if I pass this up, I'll be missing out. It sounds like a quirky tale...and I like quirky. Thanks for your insight.

Thanks for the review. The plot of Culture Man sounds super interesting. I don't think I'll be reading anytime soon, however. I'm not the biggest fan of the writing style I saw on Amazon. I hope those who read enjoy!

I love stories that are very character-driven, and that sounds like this book. I'm not a huge superhero nerd, but I'd consider this one. Kudos to the author on publishing this novel. I enjoyed your review!

I am very interested to read how someone "accidentally ingests liquids from a top-secret lab..." Sounds like a great read!

Great review, this sounds like something I would enjoy. I am curious as to what made him want to eat something created in a lab unless it looked like some type of normal snack. I guess I will just have to check out this book!
