review 1: The Amazing Adventures of Phoenix Jones: And the Less Amazing Adventures of Some Other Real-Life Superheroes is an entertaining piece of work. I really enjoyed reading it, since is an interesting subject and Jon Ronson writes greatly as always. A good read that I recommend to anyone who likes super heroes and want to know how would they are in the real world. The only problem is the shortness of the book. Jon could explore much more of the theme, specially after what he shows us in the end of Phoenix Jones.
review 2: This was, really, more of an extended magazine article than a "book," with an excerpt from another of Jon Ronson's books at the end of it - so, I'm a little peeved that I paid $3 bucks for it. But, that said...I laughed out loud lots. Did you know ... morethere were real-life superheroes? The reason I knew is because a good friend's ex-husband IS one. No, really. He dresses up like a superhero. Banker by day, crimefighter in tights by night.And, apparently, he's not the only one - there are dozens across the country. Some people are trying to help them be taken seriously. But, as this account shows, if you just write about their experiences in an unbiased way...it's pretty much impossible to take them seriously. less
