Tigerman by Nick Harkaway
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I definitely wanted to like this one more than I did. It's not like the concept was bad. It's a superhero type novel without degenerating into outright tropes--more like Green Hornet than Batman--with a vast realpolitik situation in an isolated island.

I like the IDEA of it all much more than I was interested in the actual execution. I got bored. But even so, I did enjoy the dynamic between the hero and his adoptive orphan kid. It was heartwarming at points.

But overall? Definitely not my favorite Harkaway. I kept checking how much there was left, and that's not a great sign.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
