Yeah, most of that book - what I read of it, anyway - was pretty annoying, but this was good. This was true heroism, a thing which, I don't care what some people say, never ever EVER goes out of style. Cynicism and antiheroes and villain protagonists may sell well and even be entertaining, but a true hero doing truly heroic things just makes a part of the mind go quietly 'yeah. That's the stuff.'
