Deadpool: Paws (Marvel Novels Book 4)

This is pretty much what you would expect from a book starring and narrated by Deadpool. Deadpool's insanity and all the fourth-wall breaking that comes with it is in full effect here. The blurb on the back cover is from Deadpool talking up his own book and he talks to the reader quite a bit. Wade isn't particularly happy to be in a prose novel because he has to spend so much time describing everything whereas in a comic he could just show it with pictures.The story is pretty wacky as well. Some evil villain has genetically engineered a bunch of monsters but before becoming those monsters they start out as puppies. There's no way to tell which puppies are infected with the monster DNA prior to their transformation so Deadpool basically has to go around and steal a bunch of puppies just in case. Throw in an entertaining cameo by Spider-man and you've got a pretty good time.

When I got this book I didn't know what to expect. As it turns out, the story was kinda cool. And the prose format was a unique change of pace compared to the usual comic book format. Anyway, the book is about Deadpool having to hunt down puppies that turn into monsters. And of course, since it's Deadpool, things don't exactly go smooth. Overall, I really liked this book, and I recommend it to anyone who both likes Deadpool and doesn't mind reading plain words instead of comic panels.

Excellent read. It was a lot of fun. It takes place in the present day & made me smile/laugh every bit as much as the comics. If you love reading Deadpool, you'll love reading this too - maybe even more because it's so detailed.

Stefan Petrucha, you did an OUTSTANDING of capturing Deadpool's essence at his core. The story follows the comics and I'm loving the tone, action and humor (I pause at every page and crack up laughing). Enjoying this as much as the movie. And the fourth wall breaking when Deadpool refers to you and your writing is pure GENIUS (like the first paragraph of Chapter 9, Hahahaaaa)!!!!!!!Fantastic job!

I did not expect the novel size to be so small. I thought it would be the size of a regular comic book. Anyway, the story itself is very intuitive. There are alot of funny parts in this book. I quite enjoy it. I recommend you get this as a nice soft read.

A fun novel that did a good job of capturing the whole Deadpool personality.

Just as described. Great value. Great book.

Great book for a Deadpool iunkie

Absolutely brilliantly hilarious read! The author stays true to Deadpool, although it was a bit strange at first to read it from first person POV. As a writer, Stefan Petrucha definitely has an excellent talent with words. The way he paints the story, I feel like I'm reading a well done Deadpool comic, or watching a good Marvel movie.This book was so hilarious that I could read it only a little at a time because I was laughing too hard from beginning to end. Worth every cent, letter and second you have with it!

Never read it but looks beast

We I just finished reading this novel. I would love to see the comic book version of this book. Just by reading this book I can see Ryan Reynolds doing this story of Deadpool as a pg-13 film.

well written book. absolutely hilarious, and the way deadpan interacts with the author and breaks the 4th wall of reading is comical. they captured deadpan perfectly in the book. i couldn't ask for better reading.

It was weird enough :-) but not entirely perfect.
