Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics.
But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills.
Nobody fights the Epics... nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them.
And David wants in. He wants Steelheart—the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying, and planning—and he has something they need. Not an object, but an experience.
He's seen Steelheart bleed. And he wants revenge.(From Goodreads.com)

The main thing that I loved most about this book was the characters lack of ability to form proper metaphors. In this the author was truly original. It was the comic relief in times of trial for the characters, and constantly made me laugh out loud in public places, often times causing people to give me funny looks and glares at me in places like the bank. The author supplied the perfect amount of action, mystery and that little touch of love interest to keep me interested throughout the entire book, as well as an amazing twist in the story at the very end that will leave your mind swimming in the possibilities of the next book. Truly a great read, I would recommend it for anyone.
