About this listen

Tom Brantley is a complex superhero (or perhaps an anti-hero) who discovers he has the unique power of psychokinesis whenever he's drunk or high.

Revered as Burlington City's guardian, Tom loves putting on a show for his devoted fans while saving lives and fighting crime, almost as much as he enjoys partying and indulging in vices. Despite the citizens encouraging his reckless behavior, his family and friends are increasingly concerned about his declining health. With each alcohol-induced blackout, Tom is haunted by memories of his high school years, recalling his first love and how she couldn't handle his shallow, self-centered lifestyle. After consuming psychedelics—magic mushrooms or "shrooms"—it seems like his past exists as an odd parallel reality to his present life.

SuperDrunk is a sexy and thought-provoking dark superhero story that sucks listeners into the bustling streets alongside Tom Brantley, where fighting bad guys and scoring with hot chicks might be nothing more than an escape for a washed-up loser trying to free himself from the harsh truths of life.

Listen now and step into the chaotic streets of Burlington City!

Funny, yet depressing

This was an excellent story, though I will admit it did get a little difficult to finish because over time, the story shifted to be really depressing. I've even cried near the end, experiencing something similar myself, among other situations that I related to and it hit a little close to home.
The narration is spot on, there's even a couple times where music plays and sound effects play. There are multiple voice actors, and this was very well constructed. A strong recommend, just be careful for it can resurface some dark times in your life.

Not sure what I just listened to

I just.. don't know.

It's advertised as an off color superhero story, and starts out as such. It gets pretty messed up, to the point I thought I had found a 4chan podcast or something. Then it devolves into something like the journal of a schizophrenic.

It seems like there was some attempt at exposition towards the end, but honestly, I have no idea what the actual f I just listened to. It was almost like a "Fight Club" where you never actually found out the truth about Tyler Durden, with some occasional "super powers" thrown in. It's a mindf*** story that never grants understanding or closure.

As a result, I have no takeaway. I don't love, respect, pity, or mourn the MC since I don't know what actually happened. I don't have a deeper respect or insight into substance abuse, physical/psychological abuse, neurological disease, or any of the other terrible pillars of the story since, again, I have no idea what the actual f the story conveyed or was meant to convey.

Honestly, this may be an amazing book and I just lack the understanding and/or life experience to fully comprehend it. That being said, I'm typically rather keen on mindf*** stories, and can't really recall any that left me at a complete loss.

As of this writing, I seem to be the first written review, so take my words with a grain of salt and give it a try. Like I said, this may be an amazing book, just not for me.

Not what it seems

When I picked up this book, I was immediately thrown off by the seemingly ridiculous storyline built around what sounded like juvenile wish fulfillment. The story was about a bizarre superhero named Tom Brantley (no secret identity, he just goes by his actual name), who relies on alcohol and drugs to fuel his powers. Tom is worshiped by everyone, gets any woman he wants, and is literally the most popular person around. Despite being turned off by the novel’s basic premise, something kept me hooked and reading.

About a fourth of the way through, the story shifts into an odd, disjointed tone and uneven pacing. At first, I thought it might have been an amateurish writing style. However, as the main character's life descended into darkness and despair, I realized the writing was far from amateurish - instead, it was raw, real, and unapologetic. I discovered a story far from what I originally took it for; instead, it was original, unique, and undeniably dark. As I looked back to the earlier chapters, I realized that much of what I had mistaken for poor writing was part of the foreshadowing and hidden detail that hinted at the truth behind the story.
