review 1: I almost stopped reading this book after the first few chapters. It was more than sad and my heart was breaking for this widow and her two young boys. The younger boy was in the processs of withdrawing from life altogether and they were nearly destitute. I was a little confused and impatient when the news-station storyline was introduced (because I just wanted to focus on the family), but the author caught my interest quickly and kept me interested in all the story lines. It was choppy in places, but not so much so that I couldn't follow it, and certainly not enough to cause me to lose interest. I received a free copy for review and I'll be looking for author Brian Spangler's next release, too.
review 2: Superman's Cape by Brian Spangler is three different st... moreories that come together in the end. The main story revolves around Sara Connely, the mother of two young boys who is struggling to make it both emotionally and financially. Hers is a heart wrenching story that parents will likely identify with as it addresses the fears of living alone while raising children and having a missing child. A secondary story is that of Kyle, Sara's twelve year old son who ends up missing after a family argument. The third story involves Jacob, television weather man who has the gift of seeing things before they happen. Their stories are all intertwined and the author jumps from one to another for each chapter.I found this book to be entertaining and I was eager to see what happened next. Mr. Spangler paints a clear picture of the setting as well as the feelings of the characters. He uses a lot of similes and metaphors to convey his ideas. Overall, I enjoyed this book, however, I found myself skimming some of the chapters that involved Kyle being lost in the woods. Those chapters didn't seem to move quickly for me. I found them to be repetitive and the voice of Kyle did not seem to be authentic. Some of his thoughts and words seemed to be too mature for a 12 year old. Despite these concerns, I would recommend this book. I would love for Mr. Spangler to continue the story of Jacob. less
