OllieMurdock Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Just finished reading Sleeper the other day and I absoulutly one of the most intriguing, character driven stories I have read. Just a great story. What are your thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Huge bump, but Sleeper is one of the best overall books I have ever read. I'd probably place it in the top 10. Its superbly dark, a story about a agent placed inside a sophisticated terrorist organisation. His only confidant, the man who placed him there, is in a Coma and Holden Carver starts to wonder which side he's really working for doing what he does with no way out and no-one in the government who knows what his real role is. Not to mention all the kickass super-powers. Holden absorbs pain and injuries and releases it on skin-to-skin contact. Miss Misery feels better and better when she does worse and worse things. Seriously, she kicks old men under buses and has random sex with strangers before killing them before missions to make her more powerful. Best of all is the heroine who gains power from gay men. Her origin is Peter Parkers with a slight twist, she was bitten by a radioactive homosexual. Fun, brutal, gory, intruiging, sexy, emotional, sleeper is all these things. Its probably the best work Brubaker (currently on Daredevil) has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnino14 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Anybody know where I can pick this up? Everywhere I look it seems to be that the first and fourth volume are out of print. I already own the first, got it from e-bay, but the prices on the fourth are ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 InStockTrades.com has volumes two and three for about $11 each, but they don't have volume four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's usually the first place I look, Yoda. Thanks to your site for turning me onto them by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
