Scottsdale Public Library's Reviews > Starter Villain

Witty, quirky, and so darn amusing. The book had me at “hyper-intelligent talking spy cats.” I would very much like to slow-blink at this novel and give it a treat.

Imagine your absentee trillionaire villain uncle dies and leaves you the, no, not the breadth of his inheritance, but the onus to take his place to protect the assets of the company’s multimillion dollar clients and to defend his fortune against a conglomerate of other villainous villains. It, of course, is not as simple as that. There also are technologically inept volcanic lairs, clone technology, intelligent and articulate cats, bombings, jerk dolphins, and the impending and on-going assassination attempts on Charlie.

Charlie has a lot to learn. Chuck Bartowski, without the Intersect, meets Gru in this satirical novel.
