Back Cover Text: What would it be like to see through solid steel? How would it feel to fly? What would it be like to be the world's greatest super hero? Read along as Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent tells about life as Superman!
This 24 page book is an excellent read for anyone wanting to introduce a young person to who Superman is, why he does what he does, and especially what he is capable of doing.
Story - 5: Written from Superman's perspective, the book tells us how much he loves being able to do what he can do, what his powers are, how he can use them and why he uses them to do good.
Well written, with excellent examples of ways Superman uses each and every one of his powers, the book really gets across a sense of enjoyment Clark Kent has being Superman.
Art - 4: The character designs and visuals are based on "Superman Returns". Everything looks great, with excellent visuals and great framing of the action, however the illustrations lack detail and I'm not won over by the artists style.
