Complete water. 4 chapters in a row just paraphrasing the cave scene in Iron Man 1 with no changes made at all (it would take you longer to read it here than to watch it!) Spends entire chapters introducing Marvel characters.
As an American, I get unreasonably excited watching America be carved up in these novels. Exciting but obviously very nationalistic. Jagged Germany was better.
I saw all the reviews, thought “none of them read much of the book, maybe isn’t bad.” If you’ve read enough on this site, you know sometimes you can tell a book is bad on sight. Don’t waste your time.
