Review Council Of Evil (Villain.Net, #1) Assembled By Andy Briggs Formatted As Kindle
is a reasonable YA fantasy super hero story, the first in this series by Andy Briggs, Great for fans of this genre! Една страхотна книга,чийто край ме нерви,защото авторът реши да спре точно на найинтересното, . . When Jake, the school bully, deliberately infects the school's IT system with a virus, he starts receiving strange emails, Somebody is inviting him to join them in 'conquering the world' and they send him a link to a website: VILLAIN, NET. It only takes a few clicks before Jake finds himself signed up to an entire world of supervillains, “Съветът на злото” е юношески фентъзи роман, дело на писателя Анди Бригс. Той дава начало на поредицата Villain. net, а на български език излиза със знака на издателство “Егмонт”. Макар да го бях виждал преди години, тогава не му обърнах внимание и сега съжалявам затова, защото става дума за много интересна и вълнуваща фентъзи книжка.

They want to train Jake to do it, But how much choice will he have
Council of Evil is a great book of the great VILLIAN, NET series. Council of Evil introduces Jake hunter or reintroduces if youve read Rise of the Heroes HERO, COM who has had a sad life, but changes once he stumbles upon VILLIAN, NET. This book is a great read for all Supervillians and superheroes fans, Council of Evil will make you want to buy it, So be careful on the internet and who knows, maybe your receive the email one day,
This book was awful, Unlikable characters galore, cliched dialogue, and very implausible story events,
On one of the back pages of Hero, com: Rise of the Heroes, it reads: "Tired of being a goodytwoshoes all the time Ready to get in touch with your dark side" This page was an advertisement for the Villain.
net book series. After reading it, I thought, "Why not I'll pick up a copy and see how it is, " After all, so many people claim that being a villain is more fun, and that very sentiment was conveyed by a character in Hero, com: Rise of the Heroes, Unfortunately, I was disappointed. After reading Villain. net: Council of Evil, I found myself actually rather depressed, The way I had seen it, the main character had gone through a living nightmare, And by the end of the book, none of it was resolved, As the one and only character in the book that I was capable of feeling any pity for, he was robbed of everything, and left to suffer, Alone and in terrible pain, If an author is going to write a book with a villain protagonist, this certainly does not seem like the best way to do things, The ones who should suffer the most should deserve it the most,
As for the rest of the book, it seemed like there was no effort to make certain characters or events believable, I understand that it's a fictional work, but if an author makes things too ridiculous, it's bound to disenchant the reader, Too many things were simply too convenient and lacking of a more creative explanation, In a few sections of the book, an enormous aircraft lands in the protagonist's backyard, and he's the only one who notices, I forget what the explanation was, but I don't think any kind of clarification could really justify how utterly absurd this was,
So, I would not recommend this book to anyone, especially not people with high levels of empathy, or people with low tolerance for preposterous storylines, this is a really exciting and interesting book, I can't wait to read the next oneas soon as i get it anyway,.stars
I will be brief in this review, mainly due to the complexity of the story and the numerous characters involved,
The plot, and numerous subplots, were indeed original, A bit confusing at times, but nonetheless fresh, The basic premise of the book is good versus evil and how does a young boy distinguish between the two with certainty Particularly when he holds the fate of the world in his hands Lied to from both his mentor and the "good guys," Jake finds himself in an impossibly endless game of chess, with himself as a pawn.
Due to volumes of editing mistakes, I could not rate this book any higher, In fact, I find myself being generous with,stars. If not for the original storyline, my rating would be at least,lower.
I barely recommend this book, if only for the basic story and the ambiguous ending which leads to the next book in the series, I can only hope that bookis better edited that this book, Cool book overall. Andy Briggs's Villain. Net Council of Evil by Andy Briggs is a book for kids, This book talks about a kid named Jake Hunter who is a bully at school, When Jake Hunter received an email and click the join button inside the email, he turned from bully to villain, Will he adjust to being a villain
I picked up this book because I wanted to see the villain's point of view and not just the hero's point of view.
I finished this book because I can't let go of the book,
I think I would recommend this to Thadchkan because he likes science fiction books, A fun book. Recommended for anyone who enjoys superhero books with a dash of drama, reviewed for SLJ ed by Jennifer Rummel for TeensReadToo, com
Jake Hunter is your average bully until one computer class leads him to a mysterious website,
The website allows him to download superpowers, When a teacher mistakingly witnesses him bullying a much younger student, Jake must serve detention, When Jake attempts to unsuccessfully explain the truth, rage pulses through him,
Green energy radiates from his body, rendering the teacher unconscious in addition to causing the destruction of the classroom, In a wavering decision, after escaping, Jake rushes back in to save the teacher,
He's hailed as a hero, but one person knows the truth and sends him an email message with a meeting time and location, Jake arrives there to hear an offer he can't refuse, He's about to become the world's most sought after villain,
Jake Hunter's journey into the supervillains is only the beginning, An alternate side has also been discovered in RISE OF THE HEROES, Readers will recognize a few crossover characters that will deepen the plot of both novels, The evil storyline moves along quickly, and it's a fun read for middle schoolers interested in comic books or who love rooting for the bad guys,
amazing book, want to read the rest of the series soon, I actually really enjoyed this book, I picked it up because my little brother read the entire series in a week, and he normally hates books and anything to do with English so I was intrigued.
The story follows Jake Hunter, a school bully who meets a villain called Basilisk and is given access to a website where he can download superpowers.
Soon though, things spiral out of control and Jake becomes a wanted fugitive,
I must say, I thought it would be difficult to like an antihero but actually I empathized with Jake the whole way, No one was fair to him and even the 'heroes' treated him badly, which I think is Andy Brigg's way of showing children that the world isn't black and white.
I can see why my brother liked this series, because there is action from the offset and the dialogue is quick and snappy, The reader and Jake is always kept in the dark about Basilisk's true plan, which is only revealed at the end!
I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't normally read especially boys, as well as older readers who don't mind simpler language and indulging in their more childish side! I have also read the other books in the series, and I love them as well! There are a lot of good ideas in this book, but the execution is pretty terrible.
Bad descriptions that feel like fanfic where I'm already supposed to know how everyone looks and acts coupled with atrocious dialog, To give an example of how this plays out, I spent most of the book wondering if superhumans were some sort of secret in this world or not, and only managed to answer that question for myself when it was explicitly explained near the end.
There's a lot to like here, I like the fact that the protagonist is both sympathetic and a bully, . . or at least that this balance is attempted, Jake loses a lot of my sympathy early on after he essentially decides to forget about all of the murders he witnessed his "mentor" Basilisk committing, I like the weird novelty of the idea of "downloadable" temporary powers, even if it does remind me of the old "Dial H for HERO" comics, I even like that a character and so implicitly the author admits that the names Hero, com and Villain. net were chosen because of a failure of imagination,
What I don't like are written descriptions that are the verbal equivalent of Jay Ward animating an action movie, This could have been a vivid, fun book, but it really didn't turn out the way I'd hoped, DNF Thought this was pretty cool
back in year seven Its between aand a four star, Can't decide!!
Full review of Villian, net and Hero. com and an interview with Andy Briggs starting on theat yabookreads, com. So check it out, comment and enjoy Having read Heroes I enjoyed the interplay between the plots as a non author I think this is quite an achievement! I felt that Jake's character is explored more deeply and this added more satisfaction for me.
Hero and Villain books are really suited, I think, to yearstotops, Surprisingly good
I started with Hero, com and read that this novel runs alongside that so I gave it a try,
It is a better story and has a more engaging character than hero, com, I enjoyed both novels just this one more so The book surprised me! LOL Language PGswears,"f", Sexual Content G Violence PG
Jake is the leader of the school bullies.
He makes others scared of him when a punch in the gut would make him double over too, Now the roles are switched and Jake is the one afraid to punch his bully back,
I loved reading this book, I love the plot, the action, the suspense, the secrets, everything, I recommend this book to everyone,
ed for sitelink blogspot. com/ This was a very original and interesting idea in our current digital age, The action was fast and furious and it was unusual for the book to be from a baddie's point of view,
The start of a promising series with a cliffhanger of an ending leaving you eager to start the next book, I think that this book was just rushed, If it was longer, it would've been more interesting, but it wasn't, I also think that this book was a little to childish for me, I'm, but ayear old with superpowers is a bit stupid because stereotypically kids around our age our innocent, which is totally not true, There are two parts in this story that don't make sense Here are some spoilers btw
, When the Heros erase Jake from his families' memory, they said that they blocked him out of their brain, But that doesn't mean they can't see the thinks he does, In the book it stated that Jake dropped a family portrait right in front everyone, but no one noticed, I think that's just stupid,
. Jake used his superpowers to split a highly dangerous bomb in two, It said that it fell safely in the ocean which wouldn't actually work if the dangerous chemicals were set to go off inseconds,
All in all, I gave this book two because of these reasons, I think it would have gotten at leastif I haven't been reading such good books lately, .
