This book, the first of a series from Wanted‘s Mark Millar, has already been optioned for a movie.

I say it is merely okay.

The “what if” of a J.C. reborn in the guise of a 13 year old average kid from Peoria, Ill in the 1980s? Yeah, sure, fine.

There’s a twist, though, in the last three pages that almost makes the whole thing worthwhile. Almost.
