The Unlikely Heroics of Sam Holloway
The Unlikely Heroics of Sam Holloway | Rhys Thomas
1 post | 2 read
A feel-good novel that will make you laugh and cry. The perfect book club read for fans of The Rosie Project, A Man Called Ove, and The Keeper of Lost Things. Charming, quirky, and bursting with heart. Sam Holloway has survived the worst that life can throw at you. But he's not really living. His meticulous routines keep everything nice and safe - with just one exception . . . Three nights a week, Sam dons his superhero costume and patrols the streets. It makes him feel invincible - but his unlikely heroics are getting him into some sticky situations. Then a girl comes along and starts to shatter the walls Sam has built around himself. Now, he needs to decide if he's brave enough to take off the mask, and to confront the grief he's been avoiding for so long . . . Hilarious and heart-warming, this is a story about grief, loneliness, and the life-changing power of kindness.

If you have to read just one book this year, then make it this one.

The story centres around Sam Holloway, a 26 year old bloke living an average life... apart from the fact that he dresses up as a Superhero in his spare time.

Factor in a tragic past, two goofy, loveable friends & a love interest & you get one of the most touching books I have read.

It is wonderfully written and you can't help falling in love with Sam. Warning: Tissues required.
