Description: Set in a Dystopian London a homeless man
named Ben becomes an unlikely protagonist as he finds himself the target of
just about everyone. He was unlucky enough to have a former friend/enemy turn
up and drop a bag of trouble in his lap. And now everyone wants the bag from
him. So, where is the bag? And what exactly is in it anyway?
In Short: This book is an action packed crime thriller that is set
in a messed up version of London that feels almost like the past set in the near
future. If you like dark action books with unique stories and eccentric
characters you will enjoy this book.
Pros: No More
Heroes is a beautifully written book with a great story. The plot was very
unique and constantly entertaining. The nonstop action had me hooked and eager
to see what would happen next. The 2 missing bags with contents unknown kept me
curious to the end. The settings are wonderful and detailed, you can really
visualize the story unfolding. The characters are great and well developed.
This book features a really interesting cast of street people and criminals. Ben
the protagonist is a wonderfully complex, believable, and likeable character.
He's got a bit of drinking problem but hidden behind all his misfortune is a
brilliant mind that he has to constantly use to solve problem after problem
that is thrown at him. It seemed like everywhere he went the sh!t hit the fan
so to speak, you couldn't help feeling sorry for him but also being excited by
the wild story. Ben also has some serious fighting moves, like a proper hero,
and there is a clear back-story as to where they came from, which was
appreciated. The characters and the story were definitely very well thought out
and the ending was great. It has a good solid conclusion but also leaves you
wanting to read the next book.
Cons: I have no
notable issues with this book.
*Parent's Guide: Violence, murder, gore, language, and
alcohol. No sex.
