This is a book that I won in a Goodreads First Reads contest.
First thing to say about this book is that it is a little short at 80 pages long and less than an hour's read, but when you are a super villain you want to travel light so it isn't too much of an issue.
The book is funny. Its aim is to "give you the tools and knowledge to understand what you need to do and pitfalls to avoid" in your pursuit to be a super villain. It is split into five parts:
- Part 1: Myths
- Part 2: Running your base
- Part 3: Easy techniques to take over the world before lunch!
- Part 4: Dealing with heroes
- Part 5: Staying positive
Part 1 blows away the myths of what super villains must and mustn't be or do (Blofeld has a lot to answer for here). Part 2 tells you what does and doesn't make a good base. Part 3 is full of innovative ways to take over the world. Part 4 tells you how to resist monologuing to the hero your detailed plans amongst other things. Part 5 tells you how to pursue your career without giving in to naysayers.
All-in-all you have everything you need to help you on your way to becoming a super villain. Now excuse me as I perfect my evil laugh and prepare to take over the world.
