He was great, except it his voice did not waver at all between characters. This is my first book narrated by Tristan Wright. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If so, why? There was a part, early on in the story where there was an overly long description of the comic strip, which for me was unnecessary and didn't add anything.

Did it make you laugh or cry? This was my first time listening to Tristan. Have you listened to any of Tristan Wright’s other performances? How does this one compare? When Owen finally realised what he wanted! What was one of the most memorable moments of Superhero? Where does Superhero rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?Īs much as I enjoyed Superhero, unfortunately it's probably near the bottom!
