reviewed Paranormals on October 18, 2007 Paranormals
Christopher Andrews is a master of character development, and his gift serves him well in his novel "Paranormals."
"Paranormals" is the story of how the world changes when a mysterious white flash in the sky endows a portion of the population with incredible mutant powers. With a premise like this, "Paranormals" could have very easily turned into a second-rate "X-Men" knock off, but Andrews avoids this trap through his deftly painted characters.
The reader almost immediately feels for these people as we begin to see their motivations and dreams (sometimes quite literally). These paranormal heroes are more than just "the strong guy" or "the dude who can shoot lasers out of his eyes." These are richly executed personalities that drive the plot forward with their interactions as they work to accomplish their individual goals.
That is not to say that Andrews takes himself, or his paranormals, too seriously. The book is full of clever winks to the audience and references to his pop-culture inspirations. In "Paranormals," if a character is going to act like he's Batman, he'll have the decency to call himself on it.
The last page of "Paranormals" suggests an impending sequel. I look forward to meeting up with all of my paranormal friends again in the next book.
