Hero: Post B: #2 !

Dear Perry Moore,
First of all I have to say I LOVE your book! Hero is beyond addicting and increasing thought provoking. I thought it was interesting how you picked an “underdog” as your main character. Thom is shy, smart, and dependent; any unusual characteristics for a so called superhero. Right now I am at the point where Thom has just visited the funeral, and has just left for his nerve wreaking league tryouts! I thought it was interesting at the funeral with justice and dad, holding up three then two fingers. This was a very powerful section and showed their grief for their ancestor. I also loved Thom’s description of Golden Boy after the bus incident. “I wanted to knock that Golden shithead onto his golden ass.”(80) I thought this was interesting because Thom usually glorifies the league. But just this one member, Thom seems to already dislike. Another aspect of your book Hero that I liked was of Thom’s powers. You never just left your readers to think that his powers are limited. It seems as thought you are foreshadowing a new power change in the future. This story line seems so lifelike that I kind of have to wonder if this is just a futuristic look on your or a friend’s childhood. It seems as thought you always pity Thom and his situation. I look forward to finishing your novel, and hope to read of his developing powers! ! ! !
Sincerely,
