Review
“Comic noir with a super-keen edge, in De Haven’s best book yet.” Kirkus reviews
“Convincingly and touchingly depicts the young Clark Kent’s apprehensions and insecurities as he comes to terms with his extraordinary abilities in 1930s rural Kansas. De Haven’s novel shows that, nearly 70 years after his creation, the Man of Steel still has plenty to offer.” Booklist
“De Haven gives readers X-ray vision for determining when his tongue is in his cheek here; using it is great fun.” Publishers Weekly
“Fills in the early years with energy and imagination; colors, sounds and emotions are exaggerated to great infectious effect – will entertain readers for a long time to come.” New York Times Book Review
“Some stories are so powerful they demand frequent retelling... A sophisticated piece of entertainment with strong characters and an especially well-crafted plot. A smashing read.” Times-Despatch
“One of the best novels I’ve read all year.” Manchester New Hampshire Hippo
“Tells the story like you absolutely, positively have never heard it before. If you thought Batman Begins was a revisionist take on a well-known pop-culture legend, you’re about to have your definition rewritten. The Kavalier & Klay-esque treatment of arguably the world’s most iconic superhero is a fully developed, emotionally rich novel – exciting enough to merit its title’s exclamation point!! Bookgasm
