I assumed that this book was going to be one of those "I'm not really a villain, I'm a misunderstood Nice Guy with a heart of gold, really" books, but it is NOT. It is better. All of the characters are terrible (in a wonderful way) except the dog. Well, maybe the kid is mostly OK, but the dog is better. Sorry, I can't be more articulate about this because I've just finished writing 2 other jumbo reviews and at this point the only thing my brain can do is flail around all fangirly. Anyway, if you're like me and you would prefer to watch a movie about Loki, Scar, or the Wicked Witch of the West instead of any of those goody-two-shoes that typically ruin their perfectly evil lives, you'll probably enjoy this book too.
