I'm enjoying it so far. I hadn't been liking Scott Brick too much as the narrator for some thrillers I'd been reading previously, but he seems really well suited for this book. I like all the period references and the historical detail.
ETA: I've now finished
It's Superman. I give it a thumbs-up; I wish there was a sequel. As I expected, I now want to put everything else aside and read old Superman comics.

I really did not like the way Lois was portrayed in this book. She was shallow, mean, and callous. What Clark saw in this woman who wouldn't give him the time of day was beyond me.

This was something that worried me before I got the book, as I always liked Lois in the old comics. And now I must respectfully disagree with WT Sharpe--here, Lois was portrayed as headstrong, ambitious woman trying to succeed in a tough world. She wasn't nice, but she wasn't a cartoon meanie either. In any case, I didn't see her character as being markedly different from her original comic book persona, or from the way Phyllis Coates originally portrayed her on TV's
Adventures of Superman (Noel Neill was a lot softer).
