Vicious

A smart person would stop doing something after understanding that it's not her cup of tea. Well, I am not that person. Let's pretend, that I just don't like to give up so easily.

After watching a couple of comic book movies, TV shows and even reading one or two comics, I had to make my peace with the fact, that superheroes never be my favourite. Except for V from V for Vendetta, but I had to find at least one to my liking, right?

However, I wanted to give a chance to Vicious. My reasoning was pretty adequate - if so many people like it then maybe I will too. But, spoiler, nope.

My main problem with the story was with the way it was told. The first half of the book I was just jumping from present to character's past and back again before it made any sense. Maybe I am getting old, but I do appreciate when the storytelling is consistent.

The second thing that bugged me was a slow way of things happening. If we look at the first half of the book and exclude flashbacks, it was only about digging grave. Sorry, but not good enough for me.

Overall, it had too many moments of facepalm for me.
