"I like superhero stories, and this is a story that incorporates just about every DC superhero that I've heard of (and several that I hadn't). It's a novelization of a comic book run, and the comic/graphic novel probably would have been more a little more fun to read. Things felt slow until the last third of the book.
The novel explores a near-apocalypse as the world tries to deal with a large number of "metahumans" and their interactions/fights among themselves. I did enjoy the idea of a world without Superman after he had been around for a long time. I don't know if I just wasn't in the mood for the book or what, but I don't plan on reading it again. I'm not too heartbroken as it was just a "pick up off the shelf at the library" book."
